Concepts Of Nanochemistry
This document contains the notes of the first lecture regarding Nanomaterials: chemistry and fabrication. This is the general introduction into nanotechnology and Nanomaterials. This lecture is based on the first chapter of the book “concepts of Nanomaterials”.
chemical substances or a re manufactured and used
materials that atthe nanoscale
created to exhibit novel characteristics (increased strength, chemical reactivity,
conductivity)
may pose risks to environment and raise health/safety concerns
many products already in use (batteries, coatings, anti-bacterial, etc.)
nano innovation effects many sectors:public health, employment, environment, etc.

on the surface of things:
interface:surface that separates much larger volumes of
dissimilar substances
the assumption that there's no interface doesn't hold
for nanoparticles given the surface to volumeratio
(as shown on the right)
surface atoms possess dangling bonds
at corners / kinks/edges density of dangling
bonds increases
dangling bonds:bonds at surface when atoms have unfilled outer orbital (valence) shell
surface energy surface density dangling
of bonds x
energy of the bond
quantifies the disruption of intermolecular bonds that occur when a surface is created
depends on shape, roughness and chemical composition
higher surface energy makes a material less stable
surface pressure:pressure generated by surface energy
increases with increasing surface curvature
Laplace law:mathematical relation between spherical surface pressure, radius & surface energy
