Study Notes
Richard Feynman and Molecular Machines
- Richard Feynman described molecular machines that can construct structures with atomic precision, highlighting the potential of nanoscale engineering.
Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
- Nanoscience: Examines the properties and behaviors of materials at atomic, molecular, and macromolecular levels.
- Nanotechnology: Focuses on technology that operates at dimensions below 100 nanometers, emphasizing the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules.
- The term "nanotechnology" was coined by Norio Taniguchi in 1974.
Approaches in Nanotechnology
- Top-down approach: Involves miniaturization in the electronics sector, transitioning from microelectronics to nanoelectronics.
- Bottom-up approach: Materials are created through self-assembly, exemplified by the chemical synthesis of thin polymer fibers.
Dendrimers
- Dendrimers are engineered nanostructures capable of carrying various materials for medical applications.
- These structures can recognize diseased cells, aid in diagnostics, deliver pharmaceuticals, and report therapeutic outcomes.
Nanocomposites
- Nanocomposites consist of nanoparticles assembled molecule by molecule, enhancing properties and functionalities of materials.
Nanoscale Titanium Dioxide Photocatalysis
- Nanoscale titanium dioxide exhibits antibacterial properties applicable to air and water purification, anti-fogging, and self-cleaning surfaces.
- Anatase titanium dioxide nanoparticles effectively eliminate harmful air pollutants, contributing to environmental health.
Nanofilms
- Nanofilms applied to surfaces create features such as water repellency, anti-reflective properties, UV and infrared resistance, and scratch resistance.
- Common applications include coatings for eyeglasses, computer monitors, and camera surfaces, enhancing durability and functionality.
