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 10 - Selection of Nanomaterials based on Applications |
This lecture discusses the general methodology adopted while selecting the nanomaterials for a particular application. General steps in material selection are analysis, development, evaluation and decision. There are some examples of material selection such as, in total knee replacement, combustion engine, protective cover, thin film solar cell etc.
