JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Course Objective

This course is intended to expose the students to the most exciting area of

nano materials. This would emphasize the classification, synthesis and applications of these materials.

Course Outcome

The student will be able to design a component/material that would

provide us a ‘better tomorrow’ via nanotechnology.

UNIT - I

Introduction: History and Scopy, classification of nanostructural materials, Applications, Challenges and future prospects

UNIT - II

Unique properties of nano-materials, microstrucutre and defects in nano-crystalline materials, effect of nano-dimension on material behaviours

UNIT - III

Synthesis Routes: Bottom up approaches, top down approaches, consolidation of nano- powders.

UNIT - IV

Application of nano-materials: Nano-electronics, Micro and Nano-electromechanical systems, nano-sensors, Nano-catalyst, Structure and engineering, Automotive, Nano-medical, water and environment treatment, energy, defence and space, textile and paints.

UNIT - V

Nanostructured materials with high application potential: Quantum dots, Carbon nanotubes, GaN Nanowires, Nanocrystalline Zno, Nanocrystalline Tio2, Multilayered films
