Antimicrobial nanotechnology is a field that employs nanoscale materials and structures to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This technology leverages the unique properties of nanoparticles, which are typically defined as materials that are between 1 and 100 nanometers in size. At this scale, materials often exhibit different physical and chemical properties compared to their bulk counterparts, which can enhance their effectiveness as antimicrobial agents.
