INTERFACIAL PHENOMENA IN NANOSTRUCTURED MATERIALS (3) Erlebacher/Stebe All materials properties of materials change when encountered or fabricated with nanoscale structure.  In this class, we will examine how the properties of nanostructured materials differ from their macroscopic behavior, primarily due to the presence of large interfacial areas relative to the characteristic volume scale.  General topics include the structure of nanostructured materials (characterization and microscopy), thermodynamics (effects of high curvatures and surface elasticity), kinetics and phase transformations (diffusion and morphological stability), and electronic properties (quantum confinement and effects of dimensionality).

NANOBIO LABORATORY Searson/Wirtz  Limit 20 15 30 Perm Req'd. This course introduces students to concepts and laboratory techniques in nanobiotechnology. The focus of the laboratory is on nanopaticle carriers for drug delivery and markers for imaging. The laboratory involves the synthesis of nano particles using solution phase techniques and characterization by optical techniques such as dynamic light scattering and absorbance spectroscopy. Strategies for funtionalization of nanoparticles are covered with focus on methods for attaching biomolecules. The basic aspects of cell culture and optical microscopy techniques will be covered. Nanoparticles functionalized with a drug or gene will be used to perform transfection experiments and compared to standard techniques.
