Welcome to NANO 52

This course will help you to: Course Objective... To introduce nanostructures and nanomaterials studied and developed for applications in the emerging fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. You will learn about: • nanomaterial structure • how structure dictates properties • how processing can change structure This course will help you to: • use nanomaterials properly • realize new design opportunities with nanomaterials and nanostructures

Meet your professor… Dr. Jill Johnsen Physics, Materials Engineering, & Nanotechnology Math and Science Teacher Education

Grading Discussion Questions 25 % Weekly Homework Assignments Take Home Midterm Final Writing Assignment

Weekly Discussion Questions We will devote 15-20 minutes of class time each week for small group discussions

Weekly Homework Assignments Due every Wednesday! You will be asked to answer one or two questions or solve problems related to the topics discussed during class that week.  Please bring your responses to lecture the following week or submit them via email to johnsenjill@foothill.edu by the following lecture.

Take-Home Midterm exam Due Wednesday May 11th The midterm will be based on in-class lectures, reading assignments, and problem sets. The exam will be assigned during week 5 (May 4th) and due in class during week 6 (May 11th). The midterm will involve both calculation and design problems that may involve web research.

Final Writing Assignment Due June 22nd You will write a final research paper on a nanostructure or technology of your choice.  The paper should reference current literature on your selected topic and should target an audience of your fellow students.  5 to 10 pages double-spaced 10 to 12 point font including tables and images.  More details to follow…

Ten Key Nanostructures Thin film and amorphous silicon (PV) – solar energy Carbon nanotubes (CNT) / carbon composite materials (aerospace & transportation) Surface coatings and SAMs (Self Assembled Monolayers) Sensors and bionanotechnology Nitinol™ (biomedical stents) / electropolished alloys Thin film and plasma coatings (polyester film) / high performance glazing Particles (coated particles) biomedicine / powder metallurgy (lithium batteries) Dendrimers (nanochemistry) – biomedical drug delivery Polymers and composites / nanoparticle filler - lightweight automotive and aircraft materials Silicon materials Micro Electro Mechanical Systems - (MEMS), Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC), DNA microarrays Ceramics and electro ceramics / fuel cells - (stationary / mobile power)

PNPA Relationship As you look at different nanotechnologies this quarter think about the following: What are the applications? (A) What properties are needed? (P) What are the (nano)structures? (N) How do you fabricate / process it? (P)

PNPA Use PNPA to ‘connect’ topics in the four-course series – from A to PNPA Applications (A) Nanostructure (N) Properties (P) Process (P)
