JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Course Objectives:

• Beginners will be able to acquaint themselves with the excited subject though they are novice, whereas advanced learners will equip themselves to solve the complicated issues further.
• To know the importance of the synthesis method addressed in the material properties and give practical experience of nanomaterials synthesis/properties and characterization; investigations into the various factors influence the properties of nanomaterials, optimizing the procedures, and implementations to the new designs
• To provide a sound understanding of the various concepts involved in fabrication of device architectures’ and able to evaluate them in advance
