Which of the following are applications of Nano particles?

  1. Targeted drugs may be developed

  2. Various routes of administration including oral, nasal, injection, intra-ocular (within the eyes) etc. can be used.

  3. The size and surface characteristics of nanoparticles can be easily manipulated. This could be used for both passive and active drug targeting

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
  • The size and surface characteristics of nanoparticles can be easily
    manipulated. This could be used for both passive and active drug targeting
  • Nanoparticles can be made to control and sustain release of the drug during the transportation as well as the location of the release.
    Since distribution and subsequent clearance of the drug from the body
    can be altered, an increase in drug therapeutic efficacy and reduction in side effects can be achieved.
  • Choosing an appropriate matrix also helps in increasing the efficacy and reducing side effects
  • Targeted drugs may be developed
  • Various routes of administration including oral, nasal, injection, intra-ocular (within the eyes) etc. can be used.
  • Hence option D is correct.

Which of the following are production  methods of nanomaterials?

  1. Top-Down method

  2. Bottom-Up method

  3. Down-Top method

  4. A,B only
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Nanomaterials are not simply another step in the miniaturization of  materials or particles. They often require very different production approaches. There are several processes to create various sizes of nanomaterials, classified as top-down and bottom-up. Although large numbers of nanomaterials are currently at the laboratory stage of manufacture, many of them already are being commercialized. Hence option D is correct.

Nanoparticles are the nanomaterials with three dimension between 1 nm and 100 nm. Nanolayers are the nanomaterials with only one dimension between 1 nm and 100 nm. Nanotubes or nanowires are the nanomaterials with two dimension between 1 nm and 100 nm.

Multiple choice nanochemistry nanotechnology applied chemistry materials chemistry

Which of the following is/are true?

  1. The nanoparticles have substantial percentage of atoms on the surface and are therefore bound less tightly than those within the bulk solid.

  2. The nanomaterials have lower melting points than the bulk material.

  3. The nanomaterials tend to have greater reactivity than the bulk material.

  4. All of the above.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

All of the given statements are true.
The nanoparticles have substantial percentage of atoms on the surface and are therefore bound less tightly than those within the bulk solid. For example, a 5 nm nanoparticle has about 30%  of the atoms on its surface. This property of nanoparticles is responsible for the lower melting point and greater reactivity of nanomaterials than the bulk solid.
