Several nanomaterials have gained significant attention due to their unique properties. Some of the common ones include:
Carbon nanotubes - Known for their exceptional strength and electrical conductivity. Quantum dots - Semiconductor particles that have quantum mechanical properties, useful in medical imaging and displays. Graphene - A single layer of carbon atoms with extraordinary electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties. Fullerenes - Molecules composed entirely of carbon, taking the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, or tube.
