The nanostructure materials productions are most challenging and innovative processes, introducing, in the manufacturing, a new approaches such as self-assembly and self-replication. The fast growing of nanotechnology with modern computational/experimental methods gives the possibility to design multifunctional materials and products in human surroundings. Smart clothing, portable fuel cells, medical devices are some of them. Research in nanotechnology began with applications outside of everyday life and is based on discoveries in physics and chemistry. The reason for that is needed to understand the physical and chemical properties of molecules and nanostructures in order to control them.
