Özet

Nanotechnology, which includes many potential applications, is described as the technology of the future and the industrial revolution of the 21st century. The effect of nanotechnology is particularly evident in nanomaterials (N Ms) used for chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. Properties such as nanoscale size, large surface area, and surface activity make NMs attractive for many applications. It is estimated that more than 1600 nanoscale products are on the market today and that by 2020, more than six million employees will be exposed to engineered nanoparticles (NPs).
