Objectives of the Course

The aim of this course is to explain the importance of nanotechnology to the student, to inform the students about the properties and applications of nanomaterials, and to raise awareness about the process, structure, and production of this new field of the rapidly developing age. Information on the definition of nano materials, the concept of nano size, the basic principles of nano materials and applications, the importance of nanotubes and their application areas, the superior properties of materials with nano dimensions, the synthesis and production methods of nano materials, and the tools to examine nanomaterial properties are given. The future and goals of nanoapplications are explained.
