necessary differentiate number dimensions nanoscale nanotextured surfaces ''one dimension'' nanoscale ie thickness surface object nbsp nm nanotubes ''two dimensions'' nanoscale ie diameter tube nbsp nm length could much greater finally spherical nanoparticles ''three dimensions'' nanoscale ie particle nbsp nm spatial dimension terms nanoparticles ultrafine particles ufp often used synonymously although ufp reach micrometre range term
