ABSTRACT
Nanotechnology is a wide and interdisciplinary area of research and development activity that has been rising worldwide since the last decade. Nanomaterials are the foundation of nanotechnology. Nanomaterials are materials that are characterized in the size range of 1–100 nm. A nanometer is one millionth of a millimeter, approximately 100,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair [1,2,3–4].
