Annotation -
The prefix nano- brings us into a fascinating world where man-made nanoobjects enter into the area of natural creativity. Understanding and controlling of complex architecture of objects at boundary between continuous microparticles and individual atoms and molecules allows revealing new physical principles and offers new still unknown applications. Subject Nanomaterials is a systematic introduction in this field. It deals with basic principles of preparation and characterization of nanoobjects, their size-dependent physical and chemical properties and current applications of nanocrystalline metallic materials, anorganic nanomaterials with glassy matrix, nanoceramics and polymeric nanomaterials in the field of medicine, electronics and structural applications.

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

Give a definition of nanostructured materials and to explain influence of interfaces and size on their physical and chemical properties.

Explain physicochemical principles of various methods of nanomaterials preparation within bottom-up and top-down approaches.

Describe main applications of nanomaterials (nanocrystalline metallic materials, anorganic nanomaterials with glassy matrix, nanoceramics, polymeric nanomaterials) in the field of medicine, electronics and structural applications.
