Description Applications are determined by structures. In this course, students are taught to be informed about structures in nanoscales.
Overview
Structures have a great deal of influence on materials’ properties, and properties leads to find out materials’ application.

 On top of that, in nanoscale, materials are manipulated to reach a specific structure for new applications. In one sense nanostructures are classified as zero, one, two and three dimensional structures. In addition, carbon nanostructures, porous materials, organic nanostructures and natural nanostructures are known classifications.

Booklet
Description
 It starts with explaining what CNTs are, including their structures, mechanical properties, physical properties, their use in microelectronic, and biotechnology.
Mental Challenge
 Why are CNTs so special?
Quizzes and Activities
 Activity: Using a sheet paper to show how the different types of CNTs are made.
