DEPERTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
H.R.H. THE PRINCE OF WALES INSTITUTE OF ENGG. AND TECHNOLOGY Introduction to Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology has enormous potential to
change society and it involves manipulation of objects on the automic level.
The products will be build on every atom
that are stronger, smarter, cheaper, cleaner, and more precise. Nanotechnology is the art and science of manipulating matter at the nanoscale (down to 1/100,000 the width of a human hair) to create new and unique materials and products Origins of Nanotechnology
Nobleprize winner Richard Feynman first conceived
the idea of molecular manufacturing in his 1959 speech, “There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom."
RichardFeynman was the first scientist to suggest that
devices and materials could someday be fabricated to atomic specifications
In1986, K. Eric Drexler wrote "Engines of Creation" and
introduced the term nanotechnology from there Scientific research really expanded over the last decade Definition of Nanotechnology
“Nanotechnology is the understanding
and control of matter at dimensions of roughly 1 to 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. Encompassing nanoscale science, engineering and technology, nanotechnology involves imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at this length scale.” Size of Nanoscale
A nanometer is… one billionth of a meter
DNA Sample: Approx. 2 nm Human Hair: Approx. 1x105 nm
Inportence of Nanotechnology Atthe nanoscale, the physical, chemical, and biological properties of materials differ in fundamental and valuable ways from the properties of individual atoms and molecules or bulk matter.
Nanotechnology R&D is directed toward
understanding and creating improved materials, devices, and systems that exploit these new properties. Nanomaterial
Isdefined as any material that has
unique or novel properties, due to the nanoscale ( nano metre- scale) structuring. These are formed by incorporation or structuring of nanoparticles. They are subdivided into nanocrystals, nanopowders, and nanotubes: A sequence of nanoscale of C60 atoms arranged in a long thin cylindrical structure. Nanomaterials’ Characteristics
example Category of nanomaterials
layers, multi-layers, thin films, platelets and surface One-dimensional nanomaterials coatings. They have been developed and used for decades, particularly in the electronics industry.
nanowires, nanofibres made from a variety of Two-dimensional nanomaterials
elements other than carbon, nanotubes and, a subset of this group, carbon nanotubes.
are known as nanoparticles and include Three-dimensional nanomaterials
