What are manufactured nanomaterials?
Manufactured nanomaterials are items made up of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles are made starting at the molecular level. For example, nanomaterials based synthetic bone has been produced by manipulating calcium and phosphate at the molecular level. The synthetic bone can be used in instances where natural bone has been damaged or removed, as in the treatment of fractures. Traditionally, you would use bone grafts or other large pieces of bone. Manufactured nanomaterials are also made from carbon, silicon, carbide, boron, nitrides, and peptides, etc.
