Abstract

Over the past few years, nanomaterials (NMs) have attracted the researchers because of their nanosize, physical, biological, and chemical properties compared to their bulk materials. These NMs are classified based on their size, chemical composition, shape, and sources. Different types of NMs have been synthetized from different sources and they are being classified accordingly. Many NMs have been produced in large quantities based on the requirements for many industrial applications. The two main sources through which NMs are being produced are synthetic source and naturally occurring nanoparticles (NPs). In this chapter, we discuss the types and classifications of NMs and broadly discuss the different types of nanomaterials isolated from natural and synthetic sources.
