Q. Consider the following statements about the classification of nano-materials:
1. Zero Dimensional Nano-materials are those that have all their dimensions less than 100nm.
2. The nano-film is an example of one-dimensional nano-material.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer: A
Notes:
Classification of Nanomaterials
Nanomaterials can be classified on the basis of their dimensions into the following categories:
- Zero Dimensional Nanomaterials (0D):These nanomaterials have all the dimensions within the nanoscalee. no dimensions are larger than 100 nm. Most commonly, 0D nanomaterials are nanoparticles.
- One Dimensional Nanomaterials (1D):These have one dimension outside the nanoscale. This class includes nanotubes, nanorods, and nanowires.
- Two Dimensional Nanomaterials (2D):These have two dimensions outside the nanoscale. This class exhibits plate-like shapes and includes graphene, nanofilms, nanolayers, and nanocoatings.
- Three Dimensional Nanomaterials (3D):These are materials that are not confined to the nanoscale in any dimension. This class can contain bulk powders, dispersions of nanoparticles, bundles of nanowires, and multi-nanolayers.
