Abstract

The field of nanotechnology is a science and engineering discipline capable of designing and manufacturing novel constructs and products by controlling their shape and size while at least one of their dimensions is less than 100 nm. Considerable research in recent years pertaining to functional nanomaterials (FNs) has offered a unique opportunity for their widespread use in different areas, such as mechanics, energy storage, biomedicine, bioimaging, sensors, electrochromic devices, and light-emitting diodes. In this chapter, we introduce the various types of nanomaterials classification, followed by describing in detail the various FNs, including inorganic-based nanomaterials and carbon-based nanomaterials. Finally, in each section we have discussed the applications of these FNs in various fields. © 2022 selection and editorial matter, Yasser Shahzad, Syed A.A.
