Nano Particles

Nanoparticles are particles which lie between 1 and 100 nanometers (nm) in size with a surround with layer called interfacial layer. This interfacial layer is an important part of Nano scale matter, essentially affecting all of its properties. This layer typically consists of ions, inorganic and organic molecules. It also use coating inorganic nanoparticles is known as stabilizers, capping and surface ligands, or passivizing agents. They frequently possess unexpected optical properties as they are small enough to limit their electrons and yield quantum effects.. Nanoparticles in clay combined into polymer mediums increase reinforcement, which leads to stronger plastics, provable by a higher glass transition temperature and other mechanical property tests. These particles are rigid and impart their properties to the polymer (plastic). These are also used as attachment in textile fibers which help to create smart and functional clothing.
