Nanochemistry is an interdisciplinary field that merges chemistry with nanotechnology to design, manipulate, and study materials at the nanoscale (typically 1–100 nanometers). At this tiny scale, materials exhibit unique physical, chemical, and biological properties. These characteristics make nanochemistry an essential tool in developing new medical diagnostics, targeted drug delivery systems, and advanced therapies for human health.
What is Nanochemistry?
Nanochemistry focuses on the chemical processes used to synthesize nanomaterials and tailor their structures for specific functions. By altering size, shape, and surface chemistry, scientists can create nanostructures with enhanced reactivity, strength, or biological compatibility—properties that are not present in bulk materials.
Applications in the Human Body:
• Disease Diagnosis:
• Nanoparticles are used in highly sensitive diagnostic tools that can detect diseases like cancer, infections, or genetic disorders at early stages.
