Nanomaterials exhibit the tendency to alter the fundamental properties with the size in the range of nanometers. The fascinating nanomaterials exhibit excellent fundamental properties and possess numerous applications in the fields of science and technology. However, the concept of nanomaterials already existed in prehistoric times unknowingly. Therefore, the present chapter discusses the historical overview, usage, and development of nanomaterials from the prehistoric time to the modern age. The scientific milestones achieved for the development of nanomaterials and nanotechnology have also been covered. Further, the properties at the nanoscale have been discussed in terms of confinement effect and the surface-to-volume ratio. The classification of nanomaterials based on several factors such as origin, composition, and dimensionality are elaborated. This chapter also included the possible synthesis approaches along with their benefits and disadvantages. Moreover, we briefly explore the general overview of nanomaterials for a variety of applications in the fields of energy, medicine, electronics, sensing, defense, etc.

Open Access is an initiative that aims to make scientific research freely available to all. To date our community has made over 100 million downloads. It’s based on principles of collaboration, unobstructed discovery, and, most importantly, scientific progression. As PhD students, we found it difficult to access the research we needed, so we decided to create a new Open Access publisher that levels the playing field for scientists across the world. How? By making research easy to access, and puts the academic needs of the researchers before the business interests of publishers.

We are a community of more than 103,000 authors and editors from 3,291 institutions spanning 160 countries, including Nobel Prize winners and some of the world’s most-cited researchers. Publishing on IntechOpen allows authors to earn citations and find new collaborators, meaning more people see your work not only from your own field of study, but from other related fields too.

Brief introduction to this section that descibes Open Access especially from an IntechOpen perspective

Since the end of the 20th century, the development of nanotechnology has enabled observation and the manipulation of the matter at the nanoscale. This important development has opened up a whole new field to develop new materials, with a huge amount of potential new properties that could be useful in a wide range of applications. Recently, the research in this field has marked a continuous growth in different aspects related to the development of new nanomaterials, characterization of their properties, improvement of testing techniques to adapt to the nanoscale, and application of the nanomaterials and nanotechnology in different sectors: from the healthcare sector, in which the small size of the particles spread the possibilities of the action of the nanoparticles in the human body, across the electronics industry, that is constantly miniaturizing their devices while their requirements are more challenging, to the coatings for the transportation industry or environmental applications regarding water, soil or air treatment. The topics dealt with in this volume perfectly contextualize the current interest in the development of new nanomaterials, nanotechnology, and nanodevices, and are of crucial importance for future research.
