Nano-Combinatorial Chemistry Strategy for Nanotechnology Research

摘要

Nanotechnology refers to the creation of functional materials, devices, and systems through the control of matter on the nanometer scale, and the exploitation of novel phenomena and properties at that scale. Advances in nanotechnology will have tremendous impacts on every aspect of our society. The discovery and optimization of novel nano-materials with unique properties require a time-consuming research effort. Parallel reactions and screenings are deemed to be more efficient than conventional linear operations. Combinatorial chemistry has already revolutionized drug discovery and the discovery of materials, catalysts, polymers, and pesticide. It has recently also made a significant impact on nanotechnology.
