Abstract

There is today the neologism "nanotechnology" around which much effervescence is consolidating. This scientific wave is complex in nature with multiple ramifications: The domain extends widely including in fact old and newer concepts. At this point of time, a focused perspective revealing the status and incidences of the domain on new materials, especially dielectrics and their insulating possibilities, is desirable. Thus, a personalized overview is given here, offering finally a tentative definition of "nanodielectrics"
