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
 It talks about what a bone is made of, talks about its structure and its effect on bone mechanical properties. Finally it goes through self-healing in bones.
Mental Challenge

What does bone have that makes it interesting in nanotechnology?
Quizzes and Activities

Activity: Find a case study of using self-healing in practice.
