Description

Nanomaterials is a field that takes a materials science-based approach to nanotechnology. It studies materials with morphological features on the nanoscale, and especially those that have special properties stemming from their nanoscale dimensions. Nanoscale is usually defined as smaller than a one tenth of a micrometer in at least one dimension, though this term is sometimes also used for materials smaller than one micrometer.

Teaching Materials (1-10 of 10)

  1. Aerogel (Aerogel)

    02 Jul 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Nano-Link Center for Nanotechnology Education, Carol E. Bouvier, James J Marti, Rodfal Alberto Rodriguez (editor), María Teresa Rivera (editor)

    Los aerogeles son las sustancias semisólidas conocidas más livianas que existen. Los aerogeles de sílice o dióxido de silicio (SiO2) tienen la misma estructura química que la arena de sílice o el vidrio de las ventanas, pero tienen diferencias...

  2. Aerogels

    05 Feb 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Carol Bouvier, James J Marti, Deb Newberry, Nano-Link Center for Nanotechnology Education

    This module introduces aerogels, nicknamed “blue smoke.” Using exploratory activities this module introduces the nano structure of aerogels and the resulting extreme physical properties exhibited such as: thermal conductivity, transparency, and impact resistance. These properties...

  3. Atomic Picture of Plastic Deformation in Metals: Lab Assignment Handout

    19 Jan 2010 | | Contributor(s):: Alejandro Strachan

    In this lab students will perform online molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of metallic nanowires deformed uniaxially and analyze the results...

  4. Celdas Solares con Tintes Fotosensibles (Dye-Sensetized Solar Cells)

    16 Jun 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Nano-Link Center for Nanotechnology Education, Frank Fernandes, Rodfal Alberto Rodriguez (editor), María Teresa Rivera (editor)

    Este módulo trabaja con la fabricación de una celda solar con tinte fotosensible (“DSC”, por sus siglas en inglés). Una “DSC” es, esencialmente, una celda foto-electroquímica; significa que una reacción química foto-inducida...

  5. Introduction to VEDA: Virtual Environment for Dynamic AFM

    out of 5 stars 

    26 Sep 2007 | | Contributor(s):: Arvind Raman

    This resource has become outdated and has been retired by agreement with the author. Please see the VEDA tool page and supporting documents for current information regarding the VEDA Tool. This learning module describes the motivation, theory, and features of VEDA- a Virtual Environment for...

  6. Memory Metals

    29 Jun 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Nano-Link Center for Nanotechnology Education, Matthew Shultz, Deb Newberry, James J Marti

    This module explores the properties of shape memory alloys, commonly called “memory metals”.  These alloys, when made into wires or thin structures, exhibit the shape memory effect: if bent or deformed, the metal will revert to its original shape upon heating. This module...

  7. Nano-celulosa (Nanocellulose)

    30 Jun 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Nano-Link Center for Nanotechnology Education, kim Grady, Rich Wilkosz (editor), Rodfal Alberto Rodriguez (editor), María Teresa Rivera (editor)
