COURSE OBJECTIVES |
|
“From cars to
medicine, nano tubes may be 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 such as methane gas”,
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 for advanced applications. Active
researchers in the nanotechnology field will provide in-depth analysis of
issues related to various applications such as automobile, space, ocean,
medical, agricultural, automotive, building construction, railway, etc.
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 are conducted where the participant will build his own product.
