摘要：Nanomaterials are defined as material consisting of particles, in an unbound state/as an aggregate/agglomerate, which for ≥50% of the particles in the number size distribution have a size between 1 and 100 nm, according to the European Commission Recommendation on the definition of nanomaterial (European Commission, 2011). They comprise different types of substances such as metal (e.g. Au, Ag, Fe) and metal oxide nanoparticles, as well as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes or quantum dots. Specific characteristics include the particle shape, surface area/charge/chemistry, state of dispersion, state of agglomeration, particle size distribution, solubility and porosity. These characteristics contribute to their properties, which has enabled the increasing use of nanomaterials in many fields of technology, a trend which is foreseen to considerably expand in the future.
