UNIT-I: INTRODUCTION
The nanoscopic scale (or nanoscale) usually refers to structures with a length

Significance of Nanoscale:
 The quantum mechanical properties of the particles influence at the nanoscale
By nanoscale design it is possible to vary micro and macroscopic properties
such as charge capacity, magnetization, melting temperature without changing
their chemical composition.
 Creation of new improved products.
 Availability of stronger, tougher and lighter materials for construction and
engineering.
 Nanoscale components have high surface area to volume ratio making them idle
for the use in composite materials, drug delivery and chemical storage.

Significance of Nanoscale
 Nanosized metallic powders have been used for the production of the gas
tight materials and porous coatings.
 Nanostructured metal clusters and colloids are used in the special
catalytic applications.
 Nanostructured metal oxide films are used even as the gas sensors.
 Nanostructured metal oxide finds applications in rechargeable batteries for
cars and consumer goods
CK 16
Significance of Nanoscale:
 Sophisticated health treatment by using the nano particles in the drug delivery.
 Cheaper and cleaner energy production.
 Nanophase ceramics which are very ductile a elevated temperatures as compared
to the normal ones.
 Nanostructured semiconductors are used as window layers in solar cells.
 Cleaner drinking water due to the creation of filters (made by nano) that can
entrap organisms and toxins.
 Cleaner environment by removal of pollutants from the environment.
CK 17
Significance of Nanoscale
 Composite made by nanoparticle become more stronger (ie: grain size (10
nm) 7 times harder and tougher than grain size (100 nm)
Large surface area Chemically more active
Properties change
at nanoscale
CK 18
Significance of Nanoscale- Surface area
 Generally, surface area to volume ratio has a significant effect on the properties of
the material
 Firstly, materials made up of nanoparticles have a relative larger surface area when
compared to the same volume of material made up of bigger particles (bulk).
What is surface area to volume ratio?
 Amount of surface area or total
exposed area of a body relative to its
volume or size. CK 19
Significance of Nanoscale- Surface area
Nanoparticles shows different properties compared to large particles of the
same materials.
Force of attraction is weak in large scale but in nanoscale are strong
In nanoparticle surface to volume ratio is large
Generally, atom in the surface more reactive than centre, so large surface
area means the materials is more active.
CK 20
Colour change at nanoscale
 Cu- transparent at nano scale
 Au nanosphere (50 nm)  green in colour
 Au (100 nm)  Orange in colour
 Au Bulk  yellow

CK 22
Quantum confinement effects
 Quantum confinement effects describe electrons in terms of energy levels,
potential wells, valence bands, conduction bands, and electron energy band
gaps.
 The quantum confinement effect is observed when the size of the particle is
too small to be comparable to the wavelength of the electron
potential well  is region surrounding a local minimum of
potential energy.

nanomaterials.
