Nanocrystals Polymer structures

Scope

A nanocrystal is a microscopic particle with at least one dimension less than 1,000 nanometers and is primarily made up of crystalline components. The definition of a nanometre is 10-9m in decimal form. A nanoparticle is referred to as a quantum dot if its size is less than 10 nanometers. The smaller its size the biggest potential it has in it. The nanocrystals have made many impossible things possible hence making its position in the special issue of the Journal of Polymer & Composites. Although size is the primary way that nanocrystals differ from regular crystals, this also has an impact on other features. For instance, silicon nanocrystals can emit light effectively, although this is not possible in bigger silicon samples. Nanocrystals have been discovered to be useful in several fields due to their special characteristics. The production of filters that transform crude oil into diesel fuel has made use of them. Solar panels can also be made by layering nanocrystals and applying them to flexible substrates. Titania nanocrystals may be put on surfaces in liquid suspension, allowing for the literal painting of solar panels onto exterior walls or roofs.
