Societal Impacts of Advances in Nanomaterials

The nanomaterials have their internal or surface structure less than 100 nanometers. On basis of composition, properties, and applications, the nanomaterials are classified into polymers, ceramics, and composites. The nanomaterials made extraordinary changes in the physical world on basis of their unique optical, magnetic, and chemical properties. Nanomaterials continue to make progress in the field of catalysis, sensors, environmental remediation, renewable energy, medical science, industry, innovations, etc. The nanomaterials are continuously shaping the society with the positive consequences mainly in environmental protection, ethical fairness, social security, sustainable development, and healthcare.
