Hello everybody

I'm not sure if this topic exists but I'm really confused about this thing.
I have to write some work about electrostatic stabilization in nanomaterials and I read a lot but couldn't find anything directly related to nanoparticles.
I found only electrostatic stabilization in colloids, so I'm not sure if nanoparticles could be considered as colloidal system.

Could anyone define me how the colloidal systems are related to nanomaterials?

Thank you very much
