Nanotechnology Impact on Smart Materials

Category General
Difficulty Level Normal
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 talks about how nanotechnology helps smart materials. It goes through several nanomaterials/nanosystem which can help different fields of smart materials. It goes through more details in different fields including nanosensors, metal smart nanostructures, magnetic nanoparticles, etc.

Mental Challenge
What is the role of nanotechnology in smart materials?

Quizzes and Activities
Activity: compare smart materials in their nano and non-nano states. For example, piezoelectric systems in nano and non-nanoscale. Use a table to do this.
