Overview
Rapid development of nanotechnology is often considered as a fundamental revolution in technology and is compared with the discovery of antibiotics, television, nuclear weapons, and computer technologies. Nanotechnology is a key technology and refers to a wide range of scientific and technological activities that study and work with phenomena or properties at nanometer scale (around 0.1-100nm; one nanometer is one millionth of a meter). Introducing current and potential applications is as significant as education. In this course, nanotechnology applications in textile, agriculture, oil and gas, automotive, environment, sports and nutrition industry are reported.

Booklet
Description |
It starts with a definition of microemulsion, and talks about its advantages against other emulsions. Then it talks about thermodynamics of microemulsions, their surface activity, structure, and applications. Then it goes through microemulsions as reaction media. And, it finishes with the application ofmicroemulsions as an extraction method. |
Mental Challenge |
Are microemulsions, emulsions in micron scale? |
Quizzes and Activities |
Activity: List all of the applications of microemulsions in Food industry and relate each of these applications to one or more properties of microemulsions. Use details. |
