Weekly Discussion Questions
We will devote 15-20 minutes of class time each week for small group discussions
Due every Wednesday!
Weekly Homework AssignmentsYou will be asked to answer one or two questions or solve problems related to the topics discussed during class that week.
Please bring your responses to lecture the following week or submit them via email to [email protected] by the following lecture.
The midterm will be based on in-class lectures, reading assignments, and problem sets. The exam will be assigned during week 5 (May 4th) and due in class during week 6 (May 11th).
The midterm will involve both calculation and design problems that may involve web research.
Take-Home Midterm examDue Wednesday May 11th
You will write a final research paper on a nanostructure or technology of your choice.
The paper should reference current literature on your selected topic and should target an audience of your fellow students.
5 to 10 pages double-spaced 10 to 12 point font including tables and images.

Final Writing Assignment
Ten Key Nanostructures
• Thin film and amorphous silicon (PV) – solar energy
• Carbon nanotubes (CNT) / carbon composite materials (aerospace & transportation)
• Surface coatings and SAMs (Self Assembled Monolayers) Sensors and bionanotechnology
• Nitinol™ (biomedical stents) / electropolished alloys
• Thin film and plasma coatings (polyester film) / high performance glazing
• Particles (coated particles) biomedicine / powder metallurgy (lithium batteries)
• Dendrimers (nanochemistry) – biomedical drug delivery
• Polymers and composites / nanoparticle filler - lightweight automotive and aircraft materials
• Silicon materials Micro Electro Mechanical Systems - (MEMS), Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC), DNA microarrays
• Ceramics and electro ceramics / fuel cells - (stationary / mobile power)
PNPA Relationship
• As you look at different nanotechnologies this quarter think about the following:– What are the applications? (A)– What properties are needed? (P)– What are the (nano)structures? (N)– How do you fabricate / process it? (P)
