The basis of the nanoscale control was shown and discussed according to
different methods of synthesis applying accurate controlled organized media conditions
depending on the required size and shape of nanostructures. The importance of
chemical surface modification that determined inter-nanoparticle interactions was also
underlined, in addition to the final properties based on the nanomaterial constitution.
Keywords: Control of the nanoscale, Chemical surface modification, Effect of
