Course Objectives:

The objective of this course is to introduce students to the fundamental principles and applications of nanomaterials, helping them understand the role of nano-sized building blocks in constructing multi-scale hierarchical structures at the macro level. The course aims to provide in-depth knowledge of the structural, electrical, optical, and thermal properties of natural and synthetic nanomaterials, as well as their potential impacts on health. Students will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the synthesis, characterization, and surface modification techniques of nanomaterials.

Course Content:

The course covers the role of nano-sized building blocks in constructing multi-scale hierarchical structures at the macro level and examines the structure of natural nanomaterials (mother-of-pearl, gecko, teeth). It includes the classification of nanomaterials based on size, shape, structure, and composition, and introduces carbon-based nanomaterials (graphene, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes) as well as organic and bionanomaterials. The course also explores nucleation and growth mechanisms in nanosystems and the electrical, optical, and thermal properties of nanomaterials. Further, it addresses supramolecular nanotechnology and surface modification techniques in nanomaterials, thermodynamic and kinetic principles in nanomanufacturing processes, and the applications of nanobioanalytical techniques in biological systems.

Course Methodology:

1: Lecture, 2: Question-Answer, 3: Discussion, 9: Simulation, 12: Case Study

Course Evaluation Methods:

A: Written exam, B: Multiple-choice exam C: Take-home quiz, D: Experiment report, E: Homework, F: Project, G: Presentation by student, H: …
