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 briefly talks about different types of smart materials, their effect of nanotechnology on them, and their application in different areas.
Mental Challenge
 Why do we call some materials “Smart” materials?
Quizzes and Activities
 Activity: Choose one of the examples on smart materials which are mentioned in the lesson. Try to find out the reason behind its behavior.
