Metal Based
Spherical and ellipsoidal configured carbon nanomaterials are defined as fullerenes, while cylindrical ones are described as nanotubes. Metal Based Materials: The main component of these particles is metal. These nanomaterials include nanogold, nanosilver and metal oxides, such as titanium dioxide and closely packed semiconductor like quantum dots.
