Colloidal nanoparticle synthesis. Nanoparticles are traditionally synthesized using wet chemistry methods, which involve first generating the particles in a solution, drop casting the wet particles onto a substrate, and removing the solvent, surfactants, and other materials from the particles. This wet synthesis method requires a significant ...

Nanoparticles. Nanoparticles are a group of proteins or substances that measure between 1 and 100 nanometers. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter. "Much like Goldilocks and the porridge that is 'just right,' nanoparticles have many characteristics that make them very good at stimulating the immune system," says Dr. Kennedy.

Nanoparticles are often highly reactive because of their large surface area-to-volume ratio and chemical reactions occur on surfaces (e.g., use as catalysts). Many nanoscaled metal oxides are important high-volume chemicals, for example, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles (used as pigment dusts and sunscreens). Besides …

Nano etymology. The prefix nano is derived from the Greek word nanos, "a dwarf". In 1947, at the 14th conference of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the prefix nano was officially adopted to describe the one-billionth part (10 –9) of a unit 1.In scientific literature, the prefix nano has been adopted as a popular …
