Nanomaterials are nanometer-scale structures with at least one dimension less than 100 nanometers. They are classified as having zero, one, two, or three dimensions. They are amorphous or crystalline zero-dimensional nanomaterials and come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Nanotubes, nanorods, and nanowires are examples of one-dimensional nanomaterials. Nanofilms, nanosheets, and nanocoatings are examples of two-dimensional nanomaterials with platelet-like structures. Two-dimensional nanoparticles can be made from a variety of chemical compounds and incorporated into matrix materials. Three-dimensional nanomaterials are bulk nanomaterials with three arbitrarily large dimensions above 100 nm. They include nanoparticle dispersions, nanowire bundles, and nanotubes.
Nanomaterials possess an antibacterial action toward different pathogens, owing to which it is incorporated into various biomedical uses and commercial products. The bactericidal activity of nanomaterials such as silver nanoparticles is due to the silver cations, which have the potential to attach specifically to thiol groups of bacterial proteins and disrupt their physiological activity, which leads to death of cell.
