1. Terminology and production
Eric GAFFET is Research Director and head of the NRG (Nanomaterials Research Group) of UMR CNRS 5060, at the Sévenans site (UTBM) in Belfort.

To define the concept of nanoparticles, we will use the terminology defined by the ISO, published at the end of September 2008, namely :
the nanometric definition considers the dimensional range between 1 and 100 nm ;
-
nano-objects are materials with one, two or three external dimensions in the nanometric range. Among these nano-objects, nanoparticles comprise their three dimensions in the nanometric range, nano-plates have one nanometric dimension, while nanofibers are nano-objects with two nanometric dimensions, the third dimension being significantly longer.
