ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY (SH 103): Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
An Introduction to Nanoscience
Welcome to Chapter 6 of Engineering Chemistry (SH 103). This module introduces the cutting-edge field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.
Nanoscience is the study of materials at the atomic and molecular scale (the ‘nanoscale’). We will explore different types of nanomaterials based on their dimensions (0D, 1D, 2D, 3D), including fascinating structures like nanoparticles, nanowires, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and quantum dots. Understanding their unique properties and preparation is a key objective.
This chapter covers the fundamentals of nanomaterials and their rapidly expanding applications in various engineering fields, from electronics to medicine.
