WHAT IS NANOTECHNOLOGY
Nanoscience and nanotechnology are the study
and application of extremely small things and
can be used across all the other science fields,
such as chemistry, biology, physics, materials
science, and engineering.
The study of the controlling of matter on an
atomic
and
molecular
scale.
Generally
nanotechnology deals with structures sized
between 1 to 100 nanometer in at least one
dimension, and involves developing or modifying
materials or devices within that size.
HOW IT STARTED
The ideas and concepts behind nanoscience and
nanotechnology started with a talk entitled
Theres Plenty of Room at the Bottom by physicist
Richard Feynman at an American Physical Society
meeting at the California Institute of Technology
(CalTech) on December 29, 1959.

Steric Stabilization
Steric stabilization, also called polymeric stabilization is a method widely used
in stabilization of colloidal dispersions.
Polymeric stabilization does offer several advantages over electrostatic
stabilization
1) It is thermodynamic stabilization method, so that the particles are always
redispersible.
2) A very high concentration can be accommodated, and the dispersion
medium can be completely depleted.
3) It is not electrolyte sensitive.
4) It is suitable to multiple phase system.
