Ultrafine Particles
DOI: 10.1063/1.881093
Scientists have been dealing with particles with diameters in the range 1–100 nm, albeit in dispersed systems, since the founding of colloid chemistry in the 1860s. However, it is only in the last 25 years that we have been able to study individual particles of this size. The result has been the discovery that these “ultrafine” particles have properties not displayed by larger or smaller collections of atoms or molecules, properties that suggest many scientific and technological applications.
