Abstract
This introductory chapter gives relevant historical information about nanoparticles and the attempts to define the nanoparticle size (1–1,000 nm), as well as their most important general properties, which vary with size: surface area, optical properties, uniformity, fictionalisation, quantum confinement and other fractal-type characteristics.
