Definition of Terms used in Nanotechnology
Nanomaterial
A material with any external dimension in the nanoscale or has internal structure or surface structure in the nanoscale
Nano-object
discrete piece of material with one, two or three external dimensions in the nanoscale
Nanoparticle
nano-object with all three external dimensions in the nanoscale
Nanofibre
nano-object with two similar external dimensions in the nanoscale and the third significantly larger
Nanotubes
nanofibres which are hollow
Nanorods
solid nanofibres
Nanowires
electrically conducting or semi-conducting nanofibres
Nanoplate
nano-object with one external dimension in the nanoscale and the two other external dimensions significantly larger
Nanoribbon
nanoplate (4.6) with the two larger dimensions significantly different from each other
Nanoscale
length range approximately from 1 nm to 100 nm
Nanostructured material
material with internal nanostructure or surface nanostructure
Nanopore
cavity with at least one dimension in the nanoscale which may contain a gas or liquid
Nanocomposite
solid comprising a mixture of two or more phase-separated materials, one or more being nanophase
Nanodispersion
material in which nano-objects or a nanophase are dispersed in a continuous phase of a different composition
Nanofoam
liquid or solid matrix, filled with a second, gaseous phase, typically resulting in a material of much lower density with a nanostructured matrix
Nanophase
physically or chemically distinct region or collective term for physically distinct regions of the same kind in a material with the discrete regions having one, two or three dimensions in the nanoscale
