Abstract

A nanoparticle can be functionalized when it is attached to a molecule that performs a certain function, such as recognizing other molecules. In this context, we can place specific functions on the surface of the nanoparticles and modify their behavior in each environment so that it can fulfill a given task. The purpose of this chapter is to present information regarding functionalized nanomaterials (FNMs), as well as to highlight their monitoring and sampling. In view of the potential applications of FNMs, it is necessary to know their nature, characteristics, and properties, as well as their sampling. The safety assessment of nanomaterials includes hazard identification, dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk characterization. It is therefore essential to provide industry and researchers with the appropriate tools to assist in the development, application, and communication of nanotechnologies.
