There are two nanostructure synthesis approaches; these are top-down and
bottom-up, which differ in terms of quality, speed, and cost. The top-down
technique entails dismantling bulk
material to obtain nano-sized particles. The bottom-up approach refers to the
creation of nanostructures from the bottom up, atom by atom or molecule by
molecule, using nanoscale (1 nm to 100 nm) physical and chemical processes
and controlled atom and molecule self-assembly.
The 21% century is the era of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. In the field of
science and industry, nanoscale or small-sized materials have demonstrated
incredible applications. Today, nanotechnology and its many products are
pervasive and play a crucial role in our products and way of life, from nanosilver
in deodorants to better release nanoscopic particles in pharmaceuticals 0

Nanomaterials are the minuscule components within a size range of 1-100 nm
and outperform micro- and macro-sized materials in terms of physical, chemical,
and biological properties due to their small size, shape, content, and dispersion.
The nanomaterials have unique
lin,
optical characteristics. The interaction of a
material with light is referred to as its optical property, which is influenced by
its size, shape, doping, surface properties, and interact'ons with its
environment. This property is a result of their surface plasmon and electron
quantum confinement. The surface plasmon resonance energy is determined by
the free electron density and the nanomaterial's dielectric medium.
At the nanoscale, the properties of excitation, emission, chemical reactivity, and
stability are all size-dependent. When evaluating nanomaterial property, the
form was just as significant as the size. When a nanoparticle's diameter is less
than the quasipartial interaction and its size is closer to the de Broglie
wavelength limit, quantum size effects are observed. By regulating their size
throughout their production using vacious methods, it is feasible to regulate
and manipulate the properties of nanomaterials. As a result of their larger
surface area, they can be used as catalysts.

The quantum characteristics of the material can vary at the nanoscale. When
examined atthe nanoscale, a substance that exhibits insulator béRaviour at
the molecular level can also exhibit conductor behaviour. Nanomaterials are
substances created utilising the principles and processes of Nanotechnology,

surface, electronic, and quantum effects that affect the optical, electric, and
magnetic behaviour of the materials. In other words, the qualities of other
materials can be greatly altered and improved with only a very little amount of
nanomaterial, offering immense potential and added value.
The physical and chemical characteristics of nanomaterials include their size,
shape, crystal structure, stability, chemical composition, surface area, surface
energy, and other characteristics, Nanomaterials’ surfaces become increasingly
reactive to one another and to other systems as their surface area to volume
ratio rises. The pharmacological action of the nanomaterials is significantly
influenced by their sizes. Nanomaterials can change their crystal structure ir
response to interactions with water or other dispersion media. The aggregatic n
states of the nanomaterials depend on their size, composition, and surface
charge. The nano materials magnetic, physicochemical, and psychokinetic
characteristics are impacted by surface coating. When oxygen, ozone, and
transitional materials come into contact with these materials surfaces, ROS are
created. At the nanoscale, particles interact with each other by Van der Waal
forces or strong polar or covalent bonds. The surface Properties of nano-
molecules can be altered by polyelectrolytes.
Classification of Nanomaterials
A. Nanomaterials can be classified on the basis of their jimension:
° All of the dimensions in zero-dimensional nanomaterials (0D) _are
nanoscale-scale, yetnone are larger than 100 nm. These nanoparticles are
the most prevalent ones.
° One-dimensional nanomaterials are materials with only one dimension
(20) outside of the nanoscale. Nanowires, nanorods, and nanotubes are a
few examples.
9@ The dimensions of two-dimensional nanomaterials (2D) gre not restricted
to thenanoscale, Nanocoatings, nanolayers, and nanofilms are examples of
these
© Outside of the nanoscale, all three dimensions (3D) gre present in chree-
dimensional nanomaterials, also known as bulk nanomaterials.
8. Another way of classifying nanomaterials fs based on chemical composition
of nanomaterials,
1. Organic Nanomaterials
The category of carbon-based nanoparticles known as “organic nanomaterials"
is suitable with biomedical applications due to their covalent connections.
Studies on the use of organic nanomaterials for the regeneration of bone,
cartilage, skin, or dental tissues have significantly increased in recent years. The
use of organic nanostructures, whether they are natural or artificial, has several
benefits in a range of dental disciplines, including implantology, endodontics,
periodontics, regenerative dentistry, and wound healing. The usage of organic
nanocarriers has potential benefits for biomedicine.
Despite having a number of other possiblé uses, such as polymers for coatings,
nanoscale optoelectronics, and other technical ones, organic nanomaterials’
capacity to regulate the transport of pharmaceuticals such as small molecule
medications, proteins, and DNA remains their most notable property.The major
examples of organic nanomaterials are micelles, liposomes, nanogel,
dendrimers.
2. Inorganic Nanomaterials
Inorganic nanomaterials are a subset of nanomaterials that are predominantly
made of metals, metal oxides, ceramics, few non-metals, and other
nanostructured materials with an inorganic core that determines their
fluorescent, magnetic. electrical, and optical properties. In the past decade
metal nanoparticles have gained much attention due to their unique properties.
Inorganic nanomaterials have shown great potential in bioimaging, targeted
drug delivery, cancer therapies, and other technological sectors.
3. Hybrid Nanomaterials
Unique chemical conjugates of organic and/or inorganic materials are referred to
as hybrid nanomaterials; in other words, they ate mixes of two or more
inorganic components, two or more organic components, or at least one of both
types of components. The final product is not just a combination of its
constituent parts; rather, it is a material with synergistic properties that may be
used to create applications with special) features that are controlled by the
interface of the constituentiparts at the niglecular or supramolec slar level.C. Based en nanomaterial’s form, size, Physioah aminohemical
