- "The term 'nanochemistry' was first used by Ozin in 1992."
- "'Nanochemistry'... operates from the atom 'up', contrary to the nanoengineering and nanophysics approach that operates from the bulk 'down'."
- "Nanochemistry focuses on solid-state chemistry that emphasizes synthesis of building blocks that are dependent on size, surface, shape, and defect properties, rather than the actual production of matter."
- "Nanoscale objects exhibit novel material properties, largely as a consequence of their finite small size."
- "Silica, gold, polydimethylsiloxane, cadmium selenide, iron oxide, and carbon are materials that show its transformative power."
- "Nanochemistry can make the most effective contrast agent of MRI out of iron oxide (rust) which can detect cancers and kill them at their initial stages."
- "Silica (glass) can be used to bend or stop lights in their tracks."
- "Developing countries also use silicone to make circuits for the fluids used in pathogen detection."
- "Nano-construct synthesis leads to the self-assembly of the building blocks into functional structures that may be useful for electronic, photonic, medical, or bioanalytical problems."
- "Nanochemical methods can be used to create carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and fullerenes which have gained attention in recent years due to their remarkable mechanical and electrical properties."
