Course Description

Nanoscale and Nanotechnology perspectives. Fundamentals of particles nucleation and growth. Stabilization against aggregation. Solid solution. Control of particle size, morphology, structure, composition, surface modification, etc. in the micro- and nanosize scale. Monodispersed systems. Nanomaterials. Properties of nanomaterials. Examples of biomedical applications.

Purpose.

The aim of this course is to provide participants comprehensive education in the fundamentals and technological issues in fine particles and nanostructured materials processing. The course will cover the mechanisms that govern the formation and stability of particles (micro-, submicro- and nano-size scales) and discuss how these factors are related to the functional properties of modern and newly developed materials. Furthermore, “green processing” considerations in nanomaterials processing will also be introduced.

General Objectives.

The course will offer comprehensive education in materials processing issues related to the submicro- and nanoscale level. The relationships synthesis-particle size-structure-properties-performance will be presented. After completing the course, the student should be able to:

• Identify the scientific and technological achievements and research challenges in the processing of ultrafine particles and nanomaterials.
• Understand the mechanisms involved with particle formation at different size levels.
• Analyze the different routes for size-controlled particles synthesis/processing.
• Establish the considerations involved in fine particles and nanomaterials applications.
