Overall, the use of chemistry, physics and engineering/materials to produce (in one way or another) particles or structures of predicatable (and
reproducible) size and shape that are ~100 nm or less in size (in at least one dimension).
Particles of this size may not behave, chemically, like the bulk or powdered materials. This is due to a mixed bag of effects ranging from, simply,
HUGE surface areas to complex, e.g. quantum confinement and plasmon resonance, etc.
For example, graphene behaves more or less like graphite. When "rolled" up one way, you get a exceptional conductor capable of currents greately
exceeding copper. When rolled the other way, you get a semi-conductor. If rolled diagonally, you can tune for somewhere in between.
So, to me, "Nano-Chemistry" is a multidisciplinary subject area.

Indeed, and this, combined with the lack of research into these materials, is what makes people often feel uncomfortable about their use as treatments
for disease and other medical issues in humans.
