Conclusion and Perspective.

Abstract

Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing area of development by numerous research groups across the world with its potential applications gaining recognition since the 1950s across various fields. During the last decade of the twentieth century, researchers have actively engaged in the synthesis of nanoparticles and investigation of their physicochemical properties. Advancing the research momentum forward at the beginning of the twenty-first century, rapid development of nanoscience allowed to demonstrate unprecedented advantages of the nanomaterials and its applications in a wide range of fields. The interdisciplinary nature of nanoscience and its expansion has led to establishment of new laboratories and research centers, with increasing needs on training and educating young scientists in advanced laboratory protocols. In addition, pedagogical demands in nanotechnology and nanomaterials have resulted an emergence of new dedicated curriculums at universities which has sped up the development of nanoscience and its contribution to the body of knowledge in natural science.
