Structural Analysis of Nanomaterials
Structural Analysis of Nanomaterials. Instructor: Prof. Kaushik Pal, Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, IIT Roorkee. Structural analysis of nanomaterials is an important part of Materials Science and Nanoscience and Nanotechnology which deals with the study of crystal structure of materials and their defects. It is a prerequisite for the understanding of properties of nanomaterials to have a detailed knowledge of the structure from the atomic/molecular (local) level to the crystal structure and to the microstructure (mesoscopic scale and defect structure). The primary goal of structural analysis of nanomaterials is aiming at both investigating the structure-property relationship and discovering new properties, in order to achieve relevant improvements in current state-of-the art materials.

| Lecture 08 - Basic Properties: Ceramics |
This lecture discusses about different types of traditional and advanced ceramic materials, their physical and chemical properties, and various engineering applications. Due to desirable characteristics such as, high hardness, wear resistance, chemical stability and high temperature strength, ceramics are usually selected as preferred material for many applications.
