Abstract
Nanotechnology is a broad area of research that provides the foundation for many commercial and industrial applications. Nanomaterials exhibit diverse electrical, optical, mechanical, and magnetic properties as compared to bulk materials. The diversity in their properties is due to having unique structures and bonding that depends upon the size and dimensions of the nanomaterials. This chapter describes the history and background of nanomaterials along with their structures and their bonding. The said properties of nanomaterials have been described in detail and are compared with bulk materials to emphasize nanotechnology. Nanostructure technology is a wide area of development and research activity that has been developing day by day over the past few years. It has important commercial influence, which will certainly grow in the future. Moreover, the wide range of applications of nanomaterials such as in healthcare, electronics, environment protection, and information technology make this study significant in providing basic knowledge for general readers and in-depth insight for field experts.
