Definition FDA calls it "nanotechnology" only if it involves all of the following: 1.Research and technology development, or products regulated by FDA, that are at the atomic, molecular or macromolecular levels, and where at least one dimension, that affects the functional behavior of the product, is in the length scale range of approximately 1-100 nanometers. ( Man-made materials) 2. Creating and using structures, devices and systems that have novel properties and functions because of their small and/or intermediate size. 3. Ability to control or manipulate at the atomic scale . 2010-09-06 IM2655 Intro to nanotech 3
