Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: In this course, it is aimed to know the principles of nanoscience and nanotechnology, to define the priorities of nanosized materials compared to bulk materials, and to have information about the applications of nanomaterials in different fields.
Course Content: In this course, the students will learn principals of nanoscience & nanotechnology as well as the unique mechanical, physico-chemical, electrical, optical and magnetic properties of nanomaterials as a result of reduction in size. Then, practical approaches to nanomaterials’ synthesis, characterization, and their applications in different disciplines will be discussed.

Learning Outcomes
