Course Information
Line Number 1257080
Course Name Nano708 - Chemistry Of Nanomaterials
Course Description
3 Credit hours (3 h lectures). This course aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the chemical and physical properties and reactions of Nanomaterials and how they are different from bulk materials. Topics covered include the chemical composition of Nanomaterials, Nanocrystal, Clusters, Dendrimers, Nanodispersion, Nanoporous materials, Composites and Nanocomposites, types, properties, reactivity, preparation, and characterization. Emphasis is placed on understanding the design and properties of nanomaterials that are utilized in advanced applications, including catalysts (nanoparticles, Nanodispersion), carriers of drug delivery (Nanoparticles, Dendrimers), modified membranes (clay/polymer), lightweight high-strength materials (CNT/Polymer nanocomposite), biosensors (Dendrimers).
