• The nanomaterials are particles in the size of 1
  to 100 nanomters, equivalent to a billionth part
  of a meter
• The nanomaterials are divided in three
  categories
• Nanoparticles
• Nanoplates
• Nanocomponents

• Nanoparticles are mostly used in the medical
  area.
• The nanoparticles for instances are used to find
  diseases in human body.
• Another use for the nanoparticles are the
  reactivation of some of the cells in the brain
  and help the doctors to health diseases like
  Parkinson.

• Here are some names of the nanoparticles that
  exist in the market already Doped Zinc Oxides,
  Mixed Rare Earth Metal oxides, NanoArcTM Bismuth
  Oxide, NanoArcTM Cerium oxide SGH, NanoArcTM
  Copper oxide, NanoDurTM Aluminum oxide, NanoGard,
  LL Zinc oxide, USP, NanoGard Zinc oxide, USP,
  Nanophase Zinc oxide NanoTek Aluminum oxide.

Illustrated are scanning electron micrographs of
cleansed elemental selenium formed by bacteria
(A-C) or synthesized chemically (D and E).

• The definition of the nanocomponents materials
  are materials that are made based on different
  components nanometric scale worked .
• For instance, take nanoclay, to reinforce
  plastics,
• Carbon Nanotubes as well are used to provide
  conductivity to another materials.
