Abstract

As material size decreases into the nano size regime, novel properties arise that are different from their molecular and bulk counterparts. Due to the size and shape effects in this regime, a nanoparticle’s morphology has a profound effect on its properties. This chapter addresses the effect of dimensionality on the optical, electronic, chemical , and physical assets of various nanomaterials and how physical and chemical relationships can be exploited to improve their properties. Delving into the nuances of the different sizes, shapes, and compositions gives one an appreciation of the potential that nanomaterials have to improve upon today’s technologies. As scientists learn to fabricate increasingly more complex nanomaterials, new opportunities develop every day. A detailed discussion on the effect of morphology and nanometric dimensions on materials' physico-chemical properties, which lead to novel applications, will be covered in Chapter 5.
