COURSE OBJECTIVES

From cars to medicine, nanomaterial, often treated as a 'miracle material'. They (Young’s modulus ~1.5 TPa, Tensile strength ~100 GPa) are stronger than steel and as flexible as plastic, conduct energy better than almost any material ever discovered and can be made from unexotic raw materials. Nanocomposite encompasses a wide range of materials mixed at the nanometer scale. Three dimensional metal matrix composites, two dimensional lamellar composites and one dimensional nanowires and zero-dimensional core-shells represent some of the many variations of nano-mixed and layer materials. These constructs combine the best properties of each of the components and give rise to new and unique properties in fuel cell applications. Active researchers in the nanotechnology field will provide in-depth analysis of various issues related to energy storage and its utilization. Expert speakers will reveal new developments and commercial applications. By attending this course you will learn from the experts the future developments and trends in the field. As part of the course, practical sessions will be conducted, where the participant will build his own interest.
