Difficulty Level Normal
Audience Level General
Description Nanoscience has a wide range of effects on other industries. In this course, a huge amount of information in regards with the role of nanoscience in industries is presented.
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 talks about finishing of electromagnetic-wave protective textiles. It gives an introduction, then talks about the effect of electromagnetic waves on human body and protective materials against electromagnetic waves. Then it goes through nanostructures in electromagnetic textiles.

Mental Challenge
Can nanotechnology be used in electromagnetic-wave protective textiles?

Quizzes and Activities

Activity: Prepare an assay explaining why magnetic nanoparticles are the best choice in electromagnetic-wave protection.
