Introduction to Nanotechnology.

Catalog description

This course introduces the basic principles behind nanotechnology and associate technologies. The lectures mainly focus on processing techniques of nanoparticles, nanofibers/wires, nanotubes, nanofilms, and nanocomposites using physical, chemical, and physicochemical techniques, as well as the characterizations and potential commercial applications. Throughout the classes, students are expected to gain an understanding of these materials and fabrication techniques, and how they are applied in nanomaterials and nanodevice fabrication. Prerequisite: MEEN 343 or Instructors permission.
