Abstract

Nanomanufacturing, the process of designing and producing materials and devices at the nanometer scale, is a critical enabler for numerous scientific and industrial advancements. It combines principles of chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering to produce nanomaterials with specific properties and functions, making it essential for innovation across various sectors. The integration of nanotechnology into manufacturing has significantly impacted fields such as healthcare, electronics, energy, and environmental science, paving the way for breakthroughs in drug delivery systems, flexible electronics, and renewable energy technologies. This review highlights the current nanomanufacturing techniques, including top-down, bottom-up, and hybrid approaches, while detailing their applications and contributions to various industries. Additionally, we address the challenges faced in scaling these processes and the ongoing efforts to ensure safety and standardization. Finally, we explore future trends in nanomanufacturing, emphasizing the role of automation, artificial intelligence, and sustainable practices in shaping the next generation of nanomaterials and devices. By providing a comprehensive overview, this article aims to inform researchers and industry stakeholders of the latest advancements and the potential of nanomanufacturing in driving technological progress.
