Due to their small size, nanotechnology based materials have unique characteristics such as magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical, electrical, electron configuration density when compared with macromolecules. Nanomaterials are generally at the 1–100 nm scale and have a vast range of applications such as in medicine, electronics and energy production. Cosmetics, sunscreens, coatings, batteries, fuel additives, paints, pigments, tires and cement are the examples of consumer products that based on nanotechnology. Nanomaterials may also used for special medical purposes such as to produce novel drug delivery systems, to enhance the performance of medical devices, or to produce diagnostic-imaging materials [1].
