We will go over some fundamental properties of nano materials due to its reduced size and dimension, such as thermodynamic, mechanical, electronic, magnetic, optical and bio-chemical properties as well as the applications associated with those unique properties. Topics will range from nano-grained structural materials, to nano particles / composites in clean renewable energy, from nano logic / memory device to nano-bio materials in drug delivery. We will also cover the general methods for synthesis, characterization of nano materials as well as most advanced nano fabrication methods.
