Short description

The use of nanoscale materials is constantly expanding to play a role in an ever increasing number of industries. This can be as the actual product (e.g. electronics, packaging), as a nanocomposite, as an active or functional material, or as part of the manufacturing process (such as a substrate for biomaterials).

Introduction

This course gives an introduction to the basic concepts that underlie nanotechnology. It explains how nanomaterials are made and characterised, and gives pointers to ways in which these properties will be exploited in the future to make new high added-value products.

Find out about this emerging technology and how it might impact on your business. The course organised by the University of Sheffield is presented by several international specialists including Professor Tony Ryan and Professor Richard Jones who will include examples from their recent research.

Benefits to you and your organisation

Delegates will have a better understanding and appreciation of the scope of nanotechnology and how it can impact on their organisation. Over the course of three stimulating days participants will also have the opportunity to gain a more in-depth understanding of this rapidly expanding technology field to help them interact with nanotechnology researchers and suppliers.

Who should attend?

This training course is for anyone working in the chemical or related industries, aimed particularly at practising chemical scientists who want to learn about the potential nanotechnology promises and to assess opportunities for their business. The course will lecture on the tools and techniques available to make and analyse polymers, particles, and semiconductors at the nanoscale and summarises the latest research in nanotechnology.

Long description

Many new nanotechnology research fields require a high degree of precision in both observing and manipulating materials at the atomic level. The advanced nanorobotics technology needed to manipulate materials at this scale, a million times smaller than a grain of sand, is being developed in the new Sheffield NANOLAB.

The integration of different technologies to act as simultaneous real-time nanoscale `eyes´ and `hands´, including the advanced nanorobotics, high-resolution ion/electron microscopy, image processing/vision control and sophisticated sensors, will be the key to realising such nanomanipulation.

The NANOLAB programme will thus allow unique experiments to be carried out on the manipulation and observation of the smallest quantities of materials, including research into nanoscale electronic, magnetic and electromechanical devices, manipulation of fullerenes and nanoparticles, nanoscale friction and wear, biomaterials, and systems for carrying out quantum information processing.
