Preface
Past 70 years had witnessed how the way we live and work, transformed by some tiny inventions. The entry of nanotechnology into the world of science has revolutionized all its fields. Nanotechnology is known as an ever-evolving domain since ancient times and is being embraced into a wide variety of disciplines. Nanotechnology delivers an innovative picture of the destiny of biology and medicine. It was fascinating that nanomaterial can be tailored at extremely small scales to achieve their specific properties. Hence, it was possible to make the materials extremely stronger, more durable, more reactive, or lighter through extending the nanoscience toolkit. Nanoscience has the potential to modify every part of our lives. Nanoworld has a positive impact on all materials field such as polymers, metals, biomaterials, and
