Difficulty Level Normal
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 talking about polymers and introduces dendrimers. It gives an explanation of the structure of dendrimers and their synthesis methods. Then it talks about dendrimer applications.
Mental Challenge
 Is “dendrimer” another branch of “polymer”?
Quizzes and Activities

Activity: Research why dendrimers are called “dendrimers”.
