The Fifteen lectures will be on:
1 Introduction / how to search for papers online / what are nano and bio materials?
2 Outline of common nanosynthesis methods – one-pot synthesis, sol-gel, coprecipitation, hydrothermal, combustion synthesis (Pechini method), thins films by coating and deposition
3-4 2D and 3D nanocrystal (NC) and nanoparticle (NP) superlattices (SLs) and their self assembly (2 lectures)
5 Sol-gel nanosynthesis and nanomaterials
6 Ferroic (ferroelectric/ferromagnetic/multiferroic) and electronic nanomaterials
7 Thin films
8 Graphene, MOFS and other 2D nano networks
9 Porous nanomaterials, xero gels and aerogels
10 Nanomaterials for textiles
11-12 Nanomaterials for energy applications (2 lectures)
13 Calcium phosphate based biomaterials – apatites and bioglasses
14 Bioceramic & bioglass scaffolds and 3D printing
15 Magnetic oxide biomaterials
Course Details
This course is part of the Masters degree “Science and Technology of Bio and Nanomaterials” and will be taught in the second semester of the first year. It will give students the fundamentals of nanosynthesis methods, 2D and 3D nanomaterials and their applications, and oxide-based biomaterials, illustrating various aspects on this theme: common nanosynthesis, superlattices and self assembly, sol-gel, ferroic and electronic nanomaterials, thin films, graphene and other 2D nano networks, porous nanomaterials, nanomaterials for textiles, energy nanomaterials, calcium phosphate based biomaterials, magnetic biomaterials, and bio-implants, scaffolds and 3D printing.
Expected Teaching Outcomes
By the end of the course the students will have an in depth appreciation for, and knowledge of, the various synthesis methods for nanomaterials, the creation of 2D and 3D nano and biomaterials, oxide-based biomaterials, and their many applications. They will also have gained skills in various nanosynthesis methods in the labortory sessions.
Prerequisite Knowledge
The prerequisites for the course include the knowledge of inorganic chemistry and/or materials science and physics of the solid state.
Examinations / Course marking
30% student laboratory sessions, 70% written exam (essay style questions, choose 2 from 4 given topics, 2 hours total). During the exam, the use of notes, books and other teaching materials is not allowed (closed book).
Language the Course will be Taught in
English
