Lotus Flower Structure

Nanostructures
Category General
Difficulty Level Normal
Audience Level General
Description Applications are determined by structures. In this course, students are taught to be informed about structures in nanoscales.
Overview
Structures have a great deal of influence on materials’ properties, and properties leads to find out materials’ application.

 On top of that, in nanoscale, materials are manipulated to reach a specific structure for new applications. In one sense nanostructures are classified as zero, one, two and three dimensional structures. In addition, carbon nanostructures, porous materials, organic nanostructures and natural nanostructures are known classifications.

Booklet
Description
 After a brief introduction on Lotus (the plant), it gives a brief history and follows talking about self-cleaning in Lotus leaf and expands related concepts.
Mental Challenge
 How can Lotus affect nanotechnology?
Quizzes and Activities

Activity: Sketch different steps of the process in which the drop falls on a self-cleaning surface and self-cleaning process takes place.
