CHM 400 - Nanoscience

This course introduces the chemistry of nanoscale systems and the properties of materials at the nanoscale dimension to advanced undergraduates in the physical sciences. Topics may include: theory and application of characterization and fabrication methods/instrumentation, bonding and structure in bluk materials and at surfaces, physical chemistry of nanoscale materials (quantum theory and thermodynamics), carbon nanomaterials, supramolecular chemistry, polymers, synthesis/functionalization methods, and nanoscience in biological systems. The course will also address the technological and social issues associated with nanoscience and its applications.
