Nanotechnology for Inorganic Materials
A.Y. 2022/2023
Learning objectives
The course will treat the most important aspects of nanotechnology and experimental techniques, focussing also od changes occurring from micro- to nanoscale.
Expected learning outcomes
Students will gain knowledge on nanotechnology basic techniques of characterization. They will be ao be able to differentiate nano-dispersed materials from nanostructured-materials, and successfully prepare materials with specific properties.
