Winter 2008: Chemistry of Nanomaterials
Tuesday/Thursday: 2:00 – 3:50, Clay, 103
Course Objectives: The chemistry of nanomaterials is a broad and rapidly growing topic. In particular this class will focus on a synthetic perspective to nanomaterials. This will include chemical routes to preparing nanomaterials and to modifying the surface of nanomaterials. There will be a bias toward the bottoms-up approach to designing nanostructures, however, the use of chemistry to modify top-down nanostructures will also be covered. Specific topics will include self-assembly, synthesis of nanoparticles and quantum dots, surface characterization, bionanotechnology. Techniques for characterization will focus on instruments that provide chemical information about nanomaterial structure such as photoelectron spectroscopy.
Nanoscience Outreach: For more information on nanoscience and materials science classes taught through Saturday Academy, see ChemMap.
