Abstract
The behavior of matter at the nanoscale alters material properties in comparison to their bulk counterparts. Overall, materials at the nano-range demonstrate modified physical behaviors that offer favorable mechanical, thermodynamic, magnetic, optical, and biomedical properties for a range of applications. As such nanomaterials have their prominence in most scientific domains due to their ability to generate varied responses suitable for specific requirements. However, the implementation of nanomaterials in each situation requires a detailed understanding of the chemical and physical properties of the base materials, control parameters, and methods of fabrication. This paper introduces nanomaterials, their classification and measurement techniques followed by synthesis methods, common properties, applications, and prospects.
