| MNT511 | NANOPOROUS MATERIALS | 3 | 3.00 | 0.00 | 8.0 |
Course ContentThis course is designed to introduce students to the special field of nanoporous materials, with a primary emphasis on zeolites and zeo-type materials. Different types, structure, composition, chemical and physical properties of zeolites and related nano-microporous materials will be presented. It will provide a comprehensive overview of how nanoporous materials in general can be prepared, surface-functionalized and assembled for applications in advanced functional materials and biotechnology. Specific applications include biological and chemical sensing, drug delivery, heterogeneous catalysis, and self assembly techniques. | |||||
