Over the past few decades, scientists and engineers have been working on mastering the intricacies linked with nanoscale particles. Now researchers have gained valuable insight on how to create tailor-made nanoparticles with physicochemical properties never envisaged before. Theseengineered nanoparticles offer far-reaching applications in medicine, cosmetology, engineering, food packaging, and bioprocessing, to achieve specific performance goals. This review focuses on the electronic, optical, magnetic, mechanical, thermal, vibrational, and surface properties of nanoparticles, their method of preparation, technique for particle size control, and engineering applications.
