Abstract

A paper presentation at the 3rd East African Multidisciplinary Research Conference (EAMARC III) held at the United States International University- Africa, 15th -17th November, 2016.Nanotechnology is the design, characterization, production and application of materials, devices and systems by controlling the shape and size of the nanometre (10-9 m) scale Nanoparticle: (1-100nm)-the building blocks of Nanomaterials Nanoparticles have unique physical and chemical properties that are different from those of the bulk due to their large surface area to volume ratio and their smaller siz
