Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology

Nanoparticles

Nanoparticles are particles between 1 and 100 nanometres in size. In nanotechnology, a particle is defined as a small object that behaves as a whole unit with respect to its transport and properties. Particles are further classified according to diameter. Ultrafine particles are the same as nanoparticles and between 1 and 100 nanometres in size, fine particles are sized between 100 and 2,500 nanometres, and coarse particles cover a range between 2,500 and 10,000 nanometres.
