Audience Level General
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 an introduction to the history of nanostructure synthesis methods. Then it talks about the overall structure of porous anodic alumina. Then again goes through zeolites, nanocavity films, etc.
Mental Challenge
 Is porous alumina some kind of nanoporous structure?
Quizzes and Activities

Activity: Describe the stages of anodizing in porous alumina synthesis.
