Nano Material
Introduction and Synthesis
Nanomaterials describe, in principle, materials of which a single unit is sized (in at least one dimension) between 1 and 1000 nanometres (10−9 meter) but is usually 1—100 nm (the usual definition of nanoscale[1]).
Nanomaterials research takes a materials science-based approach to nanotechnology, leveraging advances in materials metrology and synthesis which have been developed in support of microfabrication research. Materials with structure at the nanoscale often have unique optical, electronic, or mechanical properties.
Nanomaterials are slowly becoming commercialized[2] and beginning to emerge as commodities.[3]
know more about nanomaterials and its apllication in future as well as current situation, and what wil we reserch on basis of nanomaterials and carbon structure and its aplication in such futuriastic manner.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

•
Allotrope of carbon.
Cylindrical nanostructure.
Hexagonal shaped arrangements of carbon.
Rolled in tubes.
Walls made of one atom thick sheets of carbon
called graphene.
• sp2 hybridised carbon tubule rolled up into
graphene sheets giving chiral and non chiral
arrangements.
4
6. SWNTs
• Diameter close to 1 nm.
• No restrictions on tube length.
• Exhibit electrical properties that are not shared
by MWNTs.
• Conducting properties are sensitive to degree of
graphitization, chirality and diameter.
Structure:
Wrapping one atom thick layer of carbon in a
seamless cylinder.
6
8. SWNT (contd.)
• n,m are the chiral vectors. They tell about the
way graphene sheet is wrapped.
• n and m are integers. They denote number of unit
vectors in a direction in the honeycomb crystal
lattice of graphene.
• Zigzag if m=0. C-C bonds parallel to tube axis.
• Armchair if n=m. C-C bonds on opposite side of
each hexagon are perpendicular to tube axis.
• Otherwise Chiral.
8
10. SWNTs (contd..)
These three arrangements can be metals or
semiconductors.
General rule for metallicity of SWNT:
• (n,n) tubes are metals.
• (n,m) tubes with n–m=3j are
semiconductors (j≠0, integer).
• Others, large gap semiconductors.

conventional carbon fibres.
• Movable arms in nano-mechanical devices.

Called nanotori.
Have many unique properties like magnetic
moments.
Have magnetic moments 1000 times larger
than previously expected for any radii.
Properties like magnetic moment and thermal
stability depend upon the radius of the torus.

13. NANOBUD
• Combination of carbon nanotubes and
fullerenes.
• Fullerene like buds are covalently bonded
to outer side walls of underlying carbon.
• In composite materials, attached fullerene
molecules may function as molecular

GRAPHENATED CARBON NANOTUBES
Combines graphitic foliates grown along the
sidewalls of multi-walled or bamboo styled
CNTs.
Use in super capacitor applications.
PEAPOD
Novel hybrid carbon material which traps
fullerene in CNT.
CUP-STACKED CNTs
Exhibit semiconducting behaviour due to
stacking microstructure of graphene layers.
14
16. ARC Discharge
• Three main elements are required
– Carbon feed
– Metal catalyst
– Heat
• Two graphite electrodes inserted vertically. Maintained
at a constant distance of 1-2mm.
• Chamber evacuated with vacuum pump.
• Chamber filled with ambient gas (usually inert gases
like He or Ar).
• When DC current is passed, anode is consumed and
material forms on cathode (MWNT).
• Mixed metal catalyst (Fe or Co) is inserted in anode to
get SWNT as soot in the chamber.
16
20. ARC DISCHARGE (contd..)
• 100 mg/min SWNIT is produced.
Drawback
High amount of undesired by-products
(fullerene, graphite & amorphous carbon).
•New Diamond and Frontier Carbon Technology, Vol 16, No.3
(2006)
20
21. LASER ABLATION
• Pulsed laser made to strike a graphite target
(containing small amount of Ni & Co) in a high
temperature reactor.
• Inert gas is bled into the chamber.
• Graphite target vaporised.
• Nanotubes develop on cooler surfaces of the reactor as
the vaporised carbon condenses.
• Tubes grow on catalyst atoms.
• Yield is 70%.
• SWNT are prepared.
• Diameter is controlled by reaction temperature.
• More expensive than the other two.
21
23. Chemical Vapour deposition (CVD)
• A hydrocarbon vapour is passed through a tubular
reactor in which catalyst material is present at high
temperature (600-1200˚C) to decompose hydrocarbon.
• CNTs grow on the catalyst.
• Collected upon cooling the system to room
temperature.
• For liquid hydrocarbons (benzene, alcohol etc.) , liquid
is heated in a flask and inert gas is purged through it to
carry hydrocarbon vapour in reaction zone.
• If solid hydrocarbon used, it can be directly kept in the
low temperature zone of reaction zone.
• Catalyst precursors can be used in any form:
solid, liquid or gas.
23
25. Chemical Vapour deposition (CVD)
• Diameter of nano tube depends upon the size of metal
particle.
CNT Growth mechanism:
• When hydrocarbon vapour comes in contact with hot metal
nanoparticles, it decomposes into hydrogen and carbon
species. Hydrogen is evolved and carbon dissolves in the
metal.
• After reaching carbon solubility limit at that
temperature, carbon precipitates out and crystallizes in the
form of cylindrical tubes having no dangling bonds.
Hence, they are energetically stable.
• Hydrocarbon decomposition (exothermic process) releases
some heat and carbon crystallization (endothermic process)
absorbs heat. It keeps the process on.

ambient pressure.

Control on structure and growth parameters.
•J. Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 10, 3739–3758, 2010

27. PROPERTIES
1. Strength
• Strong and flexible.
• Strength due to covalent sp2 bonds (stronger
than sp3 found in diamond).
• Not strong under compressive, torsional or
bending stress.
2. Hardness (152 GPa)
Greater than diamond (150 GPa).
27
28. PROPERTIES (contd.)
3. Electrical property
Electrical properties are sensitive to their
structure. Graphene is a zero gap semiconductor
and CNTs can be metals or semiconductors with
varying energy gaps depending on the diameter
and helicity of the tubes.
4. Thermal conductivity
Thermal conductivity of SWNT more than copper
at room temperature.
28
29. APPLICATIONS
• Desalination
– Water can be made to pass through a network of
carbon nanotubes which requires less pressure than
the conventional osmosis methods.
• Solar cells
– Nanotubes can act as transparent film in solar cells to
allow light to pass through active layers and generate
current.
• Ultracapacitors
– Can be used to charge capacitors which will increase
the surface area and hence energy storage ability.
• Light bulb filament
– Alternative to tungsten filament.
