3 Day Short-term course on
Synthesis and Characterization of Nano-Materials
(With Case
Studies) : SCNM-2010
25-27 February 2010
The departments of Mechanical and Industrial production
engineering, K L University are organizing a three day short
term course on "SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF
NANO-MATERIALS" from 25th -27th
February 2010.
Aim & Scope
Nanotechnology creates and works with small materials at the scale of
molecules by manipulating single atoms. The name nano comes from the size of
molecules, which is measured in nanometers - or one billionth of a meter
(0.000000001 meter). The goal of nanotechnology is to control individual atoms
and molecules to create computer chips and other devices that are thousands of
times smaller than current technologies permit. Beyond being used in computers,
communication and medical related devices, nanotechnology could be used to
design other products, change the properties of materials and make advances in
the field of mechanical engineering.
This course highlights the applications of nano-materials in the field of
mechanical engineering and enables the participants to choose a research area by
the end of the workshop.
Course Objectives
Size, surface and confinement effects form the foundations of Nanoscience and
Nanotechnology that has been recognized as of key importance in science,
technology and economics in the 21st century. Knowing the synthesis and
characterization is crucial to the teachers who will cope with issues such as
nano- materials for various applications. The course shall acquaint the
participants with the basic synthesis techniques and concepts on
characterization. The participants will be able to get a good understanding of
fundamental knowledge and analytical skills towards designing new functional
nano-materials.
Resource Persons
The course lectures will be delivered by eminent speakers drawn from R&D
centres and institutions of academic excellence across India.
