Nanocharacterization Methods and Tools for Nanotechnology | ||
go back | ||
Nanotechnology is an emerging interdisciplinary area that is expected to have wide ranging implications in all fields of science and technology such as material science, mechanics, electronics, optics, medicine, plastics, energy, aerospace, etc. The fundamental of nanotechnology lies in the fact that properties of materials change dramatically when their size is reduced to the nanometer range. But measuring this nano dimension is not a very easy task. Although research is going on to synthesise nanostructured and nanophasic materials, characterizing these nano sized materials is also an emerging field posing lot of challenges to scientists and technonologists. Thus, nanotechnology has motivated the upsurge in research activities on the discover, amelioration and invention of sophisticated nano characterization techniques to allow a better control of morphology, size and dimensions of materials in nano range. In this session the most recent findings and the possible future advancements in nanocharacterization methods and tools for nanotechnology studies, needed to match the requirements of nano characterization techniques and tools will be presented by invited speakers coming from basic and applied research in different disciplines as well as from private companies. |
