Nanotechnology is the use of technology in a nanoscale level, which involves figment of matter within 1 to 100 nanometers at least in one dimension. Materials in nanoscale size exhibit different properties when compared to macro scale counterparts, enabling them to be used in unique ways. Nanomaterials have very small size but high surface area, and have several advantages over bulk materials. Therefore they are suitable for widespread application in commercial products.
