There are many varieties of intentionally manufactured nanomaterials. Many more will be available in the future.
Types of Nanomaterials
The following four types of nanomaterials are the most common at present.
-Carbon-based material
-Metal-Based Material
-Dendrimers
-Composites
Material Based on Carbon
These nanomaterials are made mostly from carbon. Most often, they take the forms of hollow tubes, ellipsoids, and spheres. Fullerenes is a term for ellipsoidal, cylindrical and sphere-shaped carbon nanomaterials. These nanomaterials have many possibilities for electronics applications.
Metal Based material
The nanomaterials are nanogold, quantum dots and nanosilver. A quantum dot can be described as a highly packed semiconductor crystal containing hundreds to thousands of individual atoms. The size of these nanomaterials is usually between a few and several hundred nanometers. You can change the optical properties by changing quantum dots’ size.
Dendrimers
These nanomaterials, which are made up of branched polymers, can be considered nanosized. Many chain ends can be added to a dendrimer’s surfaces, which allows them to carry out specific chemical functions. This characteristic could also prove to be helpful for catalysis. The three-dimensional density of dendrimers has interior cavities, which could allow for other molecules to be placed. This may make them suitable for drug delivery.
Composites include nanoparticles mixed with others or larger bulk-type materials. Products such as auto parts and packaging materials are being enhanced with nanoparticles.
Unique Properties
Because of their unique characteristics, these nanomaterials can have novel optical, electromagnetic, thermal, or imaging capabilities that make them attractive to be used in various sectors, such as medical, military, industrial, and environmental. You may also see these materials in complex nanostructures. This is because of the many products that have these nanomaterias, as well as their potential applications.
The material’s shape can help you to distinguish between four different types of materials: nano-particles materials, nano-solid materials, and nanofilm materials.
Material made of nanoparticles. Fourth generation catalysts use ultrafine particle catalysts. This is a type of catalyst that has a very high specific area and active activity. In order to increase organic compound chlorination efficiency by 10x, ultrafine Ni- and Steel-Zinc Alloy catalysts may have particle sizes that are less than 0.3 microns. The catalyst can help carbon dioxide to be converted into carbon and water with low temperatures. Ultrafine iron powder is able to play an important nucleation role during the thermal gas phase decomposition benzene that forms carbon fibers.
Magnet particles are used to create magnetic recordings media, such as on disks, tapes, or videotapes. Due to the increase in informationization, high amounts of data storage and speedy information processing are essential. As such, the density of magnetic recordings is increasing and magnetic particles that can be used for this purpose tends to be very fine. Internationally, there are metal tapes or disks that contain metal magnetic powders. This makes them about 20 nanometers thick. Their recording density is between 409 and 4107 bits per centimeter, which is 107/108 bits/inch. They are capable of recording anywhere from 4,000,000 to 40,000,000 information units every centimeter. Their recording density is higher than that of ordinary tapes. They also have less noise. There are other advantages, including a high signal–to-noise rate.
It is important to note that nano-solids have very large intergranular interactions. If 5 nanoparticles are combined, there will be 1019 grain boundaries in a cubic centimeter. Additionally, the atomic scatter coefficient for nanomaterials is 1014-1016x higher than it is for bulk materials. Thus, nano-materials can have high strength. Ceramics generally have high hardness. They are resistant to wear and corrosion. However they have the disadvantages of being brittle. There are nano-ceramics that can enhance toughness and decrease brittleness.
