Catalog description

Nanotechnology is a well-established sector of our technology economy, driving much of the function of modern electronics. Nanomaterials and nanotechnology are also thriving research fields, both in industry and academia. This course will prepare students to work in this exciting and growing field. In the first section of the course we will explore what it means for something to be a nanomaterial, and how the properties of nanomaterials can be determined. In the second section of the course we will explore several nanotechnologies, identifying the mechanisms that facilitate the special functions of the nanomaterials used to produce them. Students will also get hands-on experience creating nanomaterials in a laboratory. A minimum grade of C- in ([ CHE 134 and CHE 135 ] or [ CHE 138 and CHE 139 ] or [CHE 144 and CHE 145]) and CHE 231 as a corequisite is a required for this class.
