Nanomaterials are objects with at least one dimension between 1 and 100nm. They could be particles, fibers or plates. Engineered nanoparticles with homogenous size distributions are often produced or used in a variety of research settings and applications. Additionally, ultrafine particles of nano-scale can result from processes such as milling and filing.
