INTRODUCTION
Nanomaterials result from the structuring of matter at the atomic, molecular or supramolecular level at characteristic scales of less than one micrometer (μm), either naturally or industrially.
New physico-chemical behaviors can be observed for these ultrafine particles compared with fine dusts larger than one micrometer.
This fact sheet will help you discover the properties of nanomaterials, as well as their impact on humans and the environment.
