Prof. Tapan Sau gave an invited talk on Developing inorganic nanomaterials on 6 March, at an All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) sponsored short term training program (STTP) on Design and Structural Evolution of Advanced Functional Materials Suitable for Engineering Applications. The event was organized virtually by Vallurupalli Nageswara Rao Vignana Jyothi Institute of Engineering and Technology (VNRVJIET), Hyderabad.
Inorganic nanomaterials are at the forefront among advanced functional materials that are suitable for various engineering applications. Knowledge of these nanomaterials’ properties, synthesis, and nano-patterning techniques is fundamental for the development of the advanced functional materials and nanotechnology enabled applications. Prof Sau discussed the principles and protocols of controlled development as well as major properties of varieties of inorganic nanomaterials, namely semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots, metal nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, hybrid/core-shell nanoparticles, and nanocarbons.
