Audience Level General
Description Nano system is known as a functional system for doing a task in which nanomaterials are used. Nano systems are explained in this course.
Overview
Nano systems are known as multifunctional systems engineered at nanoscales. Distinctive physicochemical properties with massive prospects in therapeutic and diagnostic applications distinguish this kind of systems.

Nanomaterials are chemical substances or materials that are synthesized and used at nanoscales. Nanomaterials are developed for exhibiting striking features in comparison with the same materials without nanoscale features; features such as increased strength, chemical reactivity, conductivity and magnetic.


Booklet
Description
It starts with the problems with using nanofluids, including their synthesis and application. It defines several kinds of challenges, such as repulsions between the two electric layers of nanoparticle surfaces, stability, thermal conduction, etc. It goes through each of the important challenges with more details. And, finally mentions that nanofluid is still a promising area in industry.

Mental Challenge
Considering the challenges against nanofluids, does it worth to use them?

Quizzes and Activities
Activity: Find challenges against a specific application of a nanofluid in industry.
