Summary
According to the National Science Foundation (NSF) the term nano refers to particles, structures, or devices having at least one dimension below 100 nm. Development, manufacturing and sale of these products have spawned a multibillion industry, commonly referred to as the nanotechnology sector. As shown in the next table, there are three main product groups of products that contribute to this industry: nanostructured materials, nanotools, and nanodevices.
Nanostructured materials are materials with at least one internal, external, or surface characteristic measurable in nanometers. They include nanomaterials, nanointermediates, surface nanostructures, nanocomposites, and nanoporous materials.
Nanomaterials (also called nano-objects) represent the largest category of nanostructured materials and are classified based on how many dimensions fall below 100 nm
