Advanced Functional Materials and Nanoscience

There are many definitions of these terms. We will define it as science and technology of structures made of materials or composites of inorganic and organic materials where at least one dimension is less than 100 nm, and in addition new phenomena are observed which result from such a small size.

Material with characteristic geometric dimensions below 100 nm and new properties resulting from the nanostructure. In the following text the term nano-sized material and nanostructured material will be frequently interchanged.
