Nanotechnology is a revolutionary field of using atomic volume or concentrations, which is not of bulkiness but of lean engineering, which achieves advanced scientific response.
These parameters directly affect the atomic volume ([V.sub.m]), the effective intraparticle diffusivity ([D.sub.p]) and the mass transfer coefficient (K).
