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
 Noble prize winner Richard Feynman first conceived
the idea of molecular manufacturing in his 1959
speech, “There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom."

 Richard Feynman was the first scientist to suggest


that devices and materials could someday be
fabricated to atomic specifications

 In 1986, 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.”
How Small Is
Nanoscale?
A nanometer is…
 one billionth of a meter

DNA Sample: Approx. 2 Human Hair: Approx. 1x105 nm


nm
Why Nanotechnology?
 At the 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.
What is nanomaterial?
 Is defined 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

Category of nanomaterials example


One-dimensional nanomaterials layers, multi-layers, thin films, platelets and surface
coatings. They have been developed and used for
decades, particularly in the electronics industry.

Two-dimensional nanomaterials nanowires, nanofibres made from a variety of


elements other than carbon, nanotubes and, a
subset of this group, carbon nanotubes.

Three-dimensional nanomaterials are known as nanoparticles and include


precipitates, colloids and quantum dots (tiny
particles of semiconductor materials), and
Nanocrystalline materials
