The future of space technology and its protection from space environmental hazards will depend heavily on successful miniaturization of existing and novel capabilities. Nanomaterials and nanoelectronics will play a fundamental role in the miniaturization research and development efforts. This chapter serves to illustrate how novel nanomaterials, nanoparticles and devices are poised to revolutionize the way future microspacecrafr monitor the space environment and mitigate its adverse effects. The development of novel nanosensors of space particles, in particular sub keV particles, will depend on a concerted research effort to explore the interaction between energetic particles and nanostructures. 

Prominent applications of sonoelectrochemistry are electroplating [296], since very smooth layers have been generated this way, furthermore production of nanomaterials, nanoparticles and very line metallic powders [297-299]. Among the latest achievements was sonoelectrochemical generation of quantum dots [300]. 

That means nanotechnology and nanomaterials are only accessible in research laboratories for now but it is only a matter of time. What sort of benefits and advantages will the manufacturers have after the implementation of nanotechnologies in their manufactures and starting to use nanomaterials Nanoparticles of any material have absolutely different properties rather than micro or macroparticles. This results from the fact that alongside with the reduction of particles sizes of the materials to nanometric sizes, physical properties of a substance change too. For example, the...

The top down approach refers to physically assembling the nanoparticles into desired forms the bottom up approach utilizes specific intermolecular interactions to cause the nanomaterials to self-assemble. 

There is currently considerable interest in processing polymeric composite materials filled with nanosized rigid particles. This class of material called "nanocomposites" describes two-phase materials where one of the phases has at least one dimension lower than 100 nm [13]. Because the building blocks of nanocomposites are of nanoscale, they have an enormous interface area. Due to this there are a lot of interfaces between two intermixed phases compared to usual microcomposites. In addition to this, the mean distance between the particles is also smaller due to their small size which favors filler-filler interactions [14]. Nanomaterials not only include metallic, bimetallic and metal oxide but also polymeric nanoparticles as well as advanced materials like carbon nanotubes and dendrimers. However considering environmetal hazards, research has been focused on various means which form the basis of green nanotechnology. 

AOT, could form w/c RMs in the presence of the commercially available perfluoropentanol (F-pentanol) as a co-surfactant, and the RMs formed could provide polar micro-aqueous for highly ionic chemicals[4,5]. Herein, we present the synthesis of crystalline nanoparticles of Ag, Agl, and Ag2S (which have potential application as photoelectric and thermoelectric devices) in the polar micro-aqueous domains of the w/c RMs stabilized by the AOT/F-pentanol (AOTF) surfactant/co-solvent combination, suggesting the possibility of the commercial utilization of SCCO2 in nanomaterials synthesis. 

There is no doubt that metallic nanoparticles that have defined sizes and shapes will become key components of a number of novel, highly sophisticated products, the prototypes of which are currently emerging from the industrial R D departments. The outlook is promising for the industrial production of defined 1.4nm metal clusters for use as single electron switches or transistors, for the cost-effective fabrication of ultrapure metallic nanomaterials needed for dye solar cells or sensors, and for the reproducible production of (particularly) efficient and durable... 

Si-C formation technique with hydrogen-terminated silicon substrates can also be used as the covalent attachment of nanomaterials onto silicon surface. The possibility of assembling nanomaterials in order is strongly desired in order to enable efficient utilization of their unique nano-sized properties. Ordered arranging and position controlling of nanomaterials on solid substrates especially on silicon surface have been intensively studied [10]. In this manuscript, the nanoparticle immobilization by thermal Si-C formation will be discussed [11]. 

In 1994, thiols were firstly used as stabilizers of gold nanoparticles [6a]. Thiols form monolayer on gold surface [18] and highly stable nanoparticles could be obtained. Purification of nanoparticles can be carried out, which makes chemical method of metal nanoparticles a real process for nanomaterial preparation. Various thiol derivatives have been used to functionalize metal nanoparticles [6b, 19]. Cationic and anionic thiol compounds were used to obtain hydrosols of metal nanoparticles. Quaternary ammonium-thiol compounds make the nanoparticle surface highly positively charged [20]. In such cases, cationic nanoparticles were densely adsorbed onto oppositely charged surfaces. DNA or other biomolecule-attached gold nanoparticles have been proposed for biosensors [21]. 

Wet preparation of metal nanoparticles and their covalent immobilization onto silicon surface has been surveyed in this manuscript. Thiol-metal interaction can be widely used in order to functionalize the surface of metal nanoparticles by SAM formation. Various thiol molecules have been used for this purpose. The obtained functionalized particles can be purified to avoid the effect of unbounded molecules. On the other hand, hydrogen-terminated silicon surface is a good substrate to be covered by Si-C covalently bonded monolayer and can be functionalized readily by this link formation. Nanomaterials, such as biomolecules or nanoparticles, can be immobilized onto silicon surface by applying this monolayer formation system.
