ABSTRACT

Nanotechnology offers great potential for benefits to mankind. It will affect every aspect of our lives, from the medicine we use, to the power of our computers, the energy supplies we require, the food we eat, the cars we derive, the building we live in, and the cloths we wear. It is emerging as one of the most rapidly growing areas of science and technology with application in biology, physics, chemistry, earth sciences and material sciences. The present paper reflects some achievements, types of nanomaterials and applications of nanotechnology.

Keywords: Nanotechnology, Nanomaterials, Nanostructure, Carbon nanotubes.
