Abstract

Nanotechnology, a multifaceted subject area of applicative devices that involves the Engineering of functional systems at the molecular level is considered the nerve centre of technological advancement of the 21st century and beyond. This field that focuses on controlling the configuration and exploiting the exclusive characteristics of Nano-materials having not less than one dimensional volume of material between 1nm to 100nm to produce nano-scale devices, components and systems is repeatedly seen as an emerging technology which could be employed to enhance current products and processes. This paper which is essentially a review discusses Nanotechnology, its development, impact, applications and advances.

Keywords: Nanotechnology, Nano-scale, Composites, Nano-materials, Nano-devices.
