Meaning
Nanoparticles are small clumps of atoms which are only a few nanometres in length, width or height.
About Nanoparticles
- A substance that is broken down into nanoparticles may have very different properties to large amounts of the substance.
- The surface area to volume ratio of nanoparticles is much higher than large volumes of the same substance. It is this large surface area compared to the volume that gives it the different properties.
