Nanoparticles are used for various purposes due to their unique properties at the nanoscale. They offer a large surface area to volume ratio, which makes them useful for catalysis, drug delivery, and sensing applications. Additionally, nanoparticles exhibit quantum confinement effects, allowing for manipulation of their optical, electronic, and magnetic properties.

∙ 11y agoBecause they give us an advantage and we can make things that we probably thought wouldn't be possible before. Nanoparticles can be used to make cameras the size of a dust particle which can be used medically to check inside people and see what is going on for example. Nanoparticles also have many more purposes but there are some risks in using them and we aren't aware of all of them.

How are nanoparticles used in socks?

How are nanoparticles useful in producing industrial catalysts?
Can you recognize Cu nanoparticles without TEM microscopy?
Who found nanoparticles?
Michael Faraday is generally considered to be the first person to conduct scientific research on nanoparticles.
What is the effect of silver nanoparticles in plastic?
Silver nanoparticles are antibacterial, and when embedded in plastics for use in the medical field, are non-toxic. This makes silver nanoparticles useful in plastic applications such as surgical catheters.
Do nanoparticles have colors?
We cant really see nanoparticles to tell if they have colours, some do depending on what they are made from, but more commonly we see nanoparticles as a suspension in water, ethanol or some other solvent. These solutions can give rise to some intense colours, this is due to raylaigh scattering that takes place from the nanoparticles. A phemonon called surface plasmon resonance also has a part to play in the colours that we see for colloidal nanoparticles.
Why are nanoparticles used in textiles?
because teh nanoparticles are so good
What is the difference between nanoparticles and nanotechnology?
nanoparticles are basicly microscopic particles. Nanotechnology is the technology used to manipulate these nonoparticles for human use.

How are nanoparticles constructed in to mascara's?
Nanoparticles are put into mascara\'s to reduce clumping. Nanoparticles are made out of the soot from a candle flame.
How can Nanoparticles be used on a film set?
the nanonparticles are used on a film set by doing the dogs food
What is aggregation of nanoparticles?
Aggrgation of nanoparticles is where they stick together. This is undesirable in nanoparticle solutions, we want each nanoparticle to remain seperate. To combat this differing amounts of salts can be added to stop agglomeration, sodium citrate is one that is used for silver and gold nanoparticles. The zeta potential of the nanoparticle is a masure of its overall charge, ideally we want nanoparticles with a high positive or negative zeta potential as like charges repel each other and will stop nanoparticles from agglomerating.

Are nanoparticles the same as ordanary particles?
no they are not. nanoparticles are much smaller than normal/ordinary particles
What are silver nanoparticles used for?
Silver nanoparticles are used in antibacterial technology embedded in refrigerators, washing machines, air coolers, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners and air purifiers. This helps in blocking transmission of airborne diseases in humans and increases safety of health.
