ABSTRACT
Nanoscience began in the last century when characterization
methods for observing the structure of nanomaterials were de-
veloped. One of the basic requirements in nanotechnology is the
manipulation and characterization of materials at the nanoscale.
While this is a fact, it is also true that nature itself, as a mechanism
of defense, has continuously produced nanomaterials even before
nanochemistry was known as a branch of chemistry. This chapter
tries to provide some insights for the study of nanochemistry. Those
interested in a better understanding of this thematics can read the
reviews mentioned in the listed literature about the synthesis and
characterization of nanomaterials.
