“Nanoparticles can be modified many ways. They can be coated so that they can be durable and stable. They can be patterned so that they match up like a key and lock to connect to certains cells, tissues and organs. Some drugs are not taken up because of their physical and chemical properties” /nanoworld /whatis.htm /releases/2004/04/040428062059.htm /Nanogold_chemistry.html /forums/science-technology/6592-properties-nanomaterials.html /green-it/3212389/cancer-fighting-technology-uses-nanoparticles/?olo=rss /Packaging/Container-uses-nanoparticles-to-extend-shelf-life /news174219683.html In measurements, we take nano as ^-9 Definition : The world at a microscopic level, as dealt with by nanotechnology Definition : The engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale With 15/342 atoms, this parallel-shaft speed reducer gear is one of the largest nanomechanical devices every modeled in atomic detail. Definition : A particle having one or more dimensions of the order of 100nm or less A bulk material should have constant physical properties regardless of its size, but at the nano-scale size-dependent properties are observed (eg. yellow gold, gray silicon) Pure gold has a bright yellow colour Maintains without oxidizing in air or water Physical properties : Dense Soft Shiny (Not for nanoparticles) Most malleable and ductile pure metal known Measured in nanometers as the gold particles contains only tens, hundreds of atoms (Note:1nm = 1 billionth a metre!) Gold itself does not always glitter If gold was created in tiny chunks, it turns red, blue, yellow and other colours 10nm particles absorb green light, appearing red. Properties change dramatically from its bulk form Becomes a very good catalyst No longer a metal, but a semiconductor Melting temperature decreases dramatically Ceases to be noble Magnetic Equilibrium structure changes to icosahedral symmetry, or they are even hollow or planar Properties of NanoGold might be reconciled by the recently developed
