Nanotechnology in Metallic Structures

Category General
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 starts talking about “nanotechnology and steel”. Then it mentions the disadvantages of steel, the use of nanoparticles in it, Sanduk Nauoflex steel, and MMFX2 steel. It also talks about “nanotechnology and welding”, nanocoatings, nanocables, nano and screws and nuts. It ends with discussion and conclusion.

Mental Challenge
Is the use of nanotechnology in metallic structures limited to nanoparticles?

Quizzes and Activities

Activity: Prepare an assay on different applications of nanoparticles in steel. Include both commercial and scientific aspects.
