Issues of Clarity

This is one phrase (below) that does not clearly state what the properties of nanoparticles are. Since I don't know how to edit it I Will leave it will this message, but I think something could be done to clarify.

"The interesting and sometimes unexpected properties of nanoparticles are not partly due to the aspects of the surface of the material dominating the properties in lieu of the bulk properties."

You talk about all aspects of characterization but it is not defined, actually. Charles Michael Collins October 17, 2007 5:34 (EST). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.114.36.203 (talk)

nanoparticle

How safe are nanoparticles? What side effects are there to using them?

This reference on the Safety of Nanoparticles helps answer those questions: http://www.springerlink.com/content/978-0-387-78607-0 G2kdoe (talk) 12:49, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Merging nanoparticles and nanopowder

I, the author of the nanopowder article, support this merger. Iepeulas 04:00, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

References

There seems to be a lot of speculation in this under the section on safety. References should be provided for this section. Some of this information is stated as if it were fact, but the information is often not factual or unkown. Very little research has been done in this area to date. 198.124.230.2 20:30, 15 March 2007 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.124.230.2 (talk) 20:27, 15 March 2007 (UTC).

Removed Nonsense: "Usage of the lustre technique shows that craftsmen had a technological and empirical knowledge of materials science that was far ahead of their time." This is a purely verbal construction and a rather clumsy one. The concept of a material science comes much later and so in order to know something about it they had to be ahead of their times. To have 'empirical knowledge of a science' is the meaningless core of the sentence. Coupling 'empirical' with 'technological' only makes things worse.al (talk) 09:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

In the human body

Can a section be added about the possibility of nanoparticles' entering of the human body (and the possibility of crossing the blood-brain barrier and entering into the brain? Badagnani (talk) 15:40, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
