Volume of an atom of radius r = 4/3πr3

Volume ofnanoparticle of radius R = 4/3πR3

Volume of the particle = n (volume of the atom)

4/3πR3 = n 4/3πr3

R = n1/3r

Number of atoms on the surface = 4πR2/πr2

= 4πn2/3r2/πr2

= 4n2/3

Surface-area-to-volume ratio in nanoparticles?

Surface area to volume ratio in nanoparticles have a significant effect on the nanoparticles properties. Firstly, nanoparticles have a relative larger surface area when compared to the same volume of the material. For example, let us consider a sphere of radius r: The surface area of the sphere will be 4πr2 The volume of the sphere = 4/3(πr3) Therefore the surface area to the volume ratio will be 4πr2/{4/3(πr3)} = 3/r It means that the surface area to volume ration increases with the decrease in radius of the sphere and vice versa.


Do nanoparticles have colors?

We cant really see nanoparticles to tell if they have colours, some do depending on what they are made from, but more commonly we see nanoparticles as a suspension in water, ethanol or some other solvent. These solutions can give rise to some intense colours, this is due to raylaigh scattering that takes place from the nanoparticles. A phemonon called surface plasmon resonance also has a part to play in the colours that we see for colloidal nanoparticles.

What is the effect of silver nanoparticles in plastic?

Silver nanoparticles are antibacterial, and when embedded in plastics for use in the medical field, are non-toxic. This makes silver nanoparticles useful in plastic applications such as surgical catheters.
