Nanoarchitectonics for Advanced Materials: Strategy Beyond Nanotechnology

Focus on Materials Nanoarchitectonics.

An application of nanotechnology in advanced dental materials.

BACKGROUND This article reports the authors' development of nanofillers and a resulting nanocomposite. They measured the nanocomposite's properties in vitro in comparison with those of several existing composites (hybrids, microhybrids and microfill). METHODS The authors developed two types of nanofillers: nanomeric particles and nanoclusters. They used optimal combinations of these nanofille...

Technology refers to the application of knowledge for human benefits. Nanotechnology has been defined as ‘the understanding and control of matter at dimensions of roughly 1 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications’[1]. Nanotechnology is unique in the sense that it enables us to observe, synthesize and manipulate things at the nanometer scale[2]. The word nano is derived ...
