Nanomaterials are increasingly becoming part of our daily lives and are already heavily used in products such as sunscreens (titanium dioxide/zinc oxide nanoparticles), sporting goods (carbon nanotubes, graphene etc.), conductive battery additives (carbon nanotubes, graphene etc.), automotive composites (nanotubes, graphene, cellulose nanofibers etc.) and high-definition TVs (quantum dots). There use is only going to increase due to continued industry demand for nanomaterials for current and next generation batteries, biomedical imaging and flexible electronics.
Their novel properties, that are not apparent in larger forms of the same material, has led to their desirability and exploitation in a wide range of applications. Nanomaterials can be defined as substances that are intentionally produced, manufactured or engineered to have specific properties and one or more dimensions typically between 1 and 100 nanometres. Nanomaterials cover a range of materials inorganic metal and metal oxide nanomaterials, carbon-based nanomaterials and polymeric particulate materials in a variety of forms.
They are generally categorized into 4 types:
- inorganic-based nanomaterials include metal (e.g. silver, gold, copper, iron etc.) and metal oxide (zinc oxide, iron oxide, silica, titanium dioxide etc.) nanomaterials
- carbon-based nanomaterials (e.g. graphene, fullerene, single-walled carbon nanotube, multiwalled carbon nanotube, carbon nanofibers)
- organic-based nanomaterials (e.g. dendrimers)
- composite-based nanomaterials.
Most nanomaterials are produced in multi-tonne volumes in varying sizes, shapes, and also in surface coatings.
