NANOMATERIALS & NANOTECHNOLOGY
The principal objectives of the course are to: i) introduce advanced processing methods for synthesizing nanomaterials, ranging from single nanoparticles to three-dimensional nanostructures, ii) discuss important thermodynamic and kinetic theories related to such processing, iii) describe methods for characterizing the structure and properties of nanomaterials, iv) discuss current and emerging applications for nanomaterials, and v) illustrate the interdisciplinary nature of nanotechnology and address critical challenges.
