Fundamentals of Nanometrology
Instructors: Dr. Jack Zhou in collaboration with Dr. MinJun Kim, Dr. Guoliang Yan, and Dr. Sally Solomon, Drexel University
REGISTER NOW & LEARN MORE
Overview:
Nanometrology is the science of measurement at the nanoscale level. Nanotechnology is widely defined as the synthesis, observation, and manipulation of matter at nanometer length scales. It is important to note that at this level, forces, such as inertia and gravitation, which dominate at the macro-scale are virtually insignificant; while forces, such as electrostatics and van der Walls force, dominate. This is one of the chief reasons for the occurrence of most of the phenomenon that are typically studied under nanotechnology.

Nanocoatings for Enhanced Thermal Engineering
Instructor: Professor Debjyoti Banerjee, Texas A&M University
REGISTER NOW & LEARN MORE
Overview:
Nanocoatings and additives can enhance the thermal performance of engineering devices for heating, cooling and thermal storage applications. Such enhancements arise from the better thermo-physical properties of the coatings materials as well as the modification of the surface properties. The applications of these materials and techniques range from HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) to chemical process industries as well as renewable energy technologies (such as solar thermal energy and concentrated solar power). This course will give you insight into exactly how these nanocoatings enhance engineering applications.

Overview:
The course explores the enhancement of mechanical and thermal properties of metals through the infusion of various nano-materials. The room and high temperature thermal/mechanical properties that can be improved by combining Nano-materials and metals are explained. The results of published experiments, which use a variety of metals and nano-materials are shown. The theoretical basis on the enhancement in thermal-mechanical properties is also discussed. The enhancement of electrical erosion properties of metals through infusion of various nano-materials in them is also discussed. The electrical erosion properties that are improved by combining nano-materials and metals, are explained, as well as the results of relevant published experiments. In addition, various manufacturing processes used for fabricating nanocomposites are also discussed. The manufacturing processes that are discussed in the course are ex-situ and in-situ methods. Relative advantages and disadvantages of various methods are also discussed in the course.
