What is nanoscience?

Science that studies particles that are 1-100nm in size.

New cards

State the uses of nanoparticles.

  • Medicine (drug delivery systems)

  • Electronics

  • Deodorants

  • Sun creams (better skin coverage and more effective protection against cell damage).

New cards

What are fine and coarse particles?

  • Fine particles (soot), 100-2500 nm diameter.

  • Coarse particles (dust), 2500-105 nm diameter.

Why do nanoparticles have properties different from those for the same materials in bulk?

High surface area to volume ratio.
