Overview
The advance materials “Nanoparticle” is a hot topic for today’s technology and the near future observations of science. Small size and having various shapes of nanoparticles cover mostly all types of sciences and manufacturing technologies. The properties of this particle are flying over today scientific barriers and have passed the limitations of conventional sciences. This is the reason why nanoparticles have been evaluated for the use in many fields. A long list of science fields is inserted in the list of near future confrontation and to study the possibility of converting the conventional roles of science to explore the art beauty of the use of nanoparticles. Researchers in this field of technology maintain to study every small system and get into the developing of even smaller devices. Prof. Feynman actually brought the attention of scientists when he predicted his famous speech: “There’s plenty of room at the bottom”. At that time tools, instruments and equipments weren't on the highly competent altitude of analyses. The idea was zooming inside the material to find out the novels of discoveries. In the last few years, the reality of nanotechnology has changed the dimensions of the world of science and dramatically explored the 3D piece of art of the new tiny world. This discovery confirmed that the properties of materials changed as their sizes approaches the nanoscale and as the percentage of atoms at the surface of a material becomes significantly nano-able. Nanoparticles often have unpredicted observable properties because of their own small size to confine their electrons and produce quantum effects. The properties of materials are absolutely diverted as their size approaches the nanoscale and where the percentage of atoms at the surface of a material becomes significantly nano. The deliverability of such nanoscale particles is another issue which has been spot out of this technology technique and put itself as the most appropriate requirement. The chapters provided in this book, aims to emphasize that surface composition and chemistry are key parameters in nanoparticle properties and applications even though their characterization is seldom adequately performed. The importance of the nanoparticle characterization in the control of their properties will be summarized and the role of the nanoparticle surface chemistry in various applications as well. A brief summary of the usual techniques for surface studies will be presented along with the challenging performance required from the analytical instruments.
