Ozin, Chapter 1
Nanomaterials are small enough in at least one dimension that the properties
are different from bulk properties. Monodispersed particles have a relatively
narrow size distribution. |
| |
|
| Jan 22 |
Class: Nanochemistry Basics
Lab: Self-assembled monolayers.
We will do the procedure more than once. Think how you could do some patterning,
perhaps like Figure 1.18 in Ozin. Masking or using a razor blade on the silver
layer is one way.
Lab: Colloidal Magnetite Nanoparticles (ferrofluid).
You will need to bring a bound laboratory notebook and either safety glasses
or $2. Your record of your work will be graded during the lab period (see
handout for the appropriate format.) |
| Jan 24 |
Literature reports
Choose a nano article from Nanoletters (see especially the most cited or most
accessed list), Materials Today, or one referenced in the Materials News
(we only have subscriptions to some of the links in the latter.) Summarize
the paper in a short oral report, focusing primarily on a figure or two in
the paper. Email your claim a paper by including a link to the abstract. |
