Course Details
• Fundamentals of Nanotribology: An introduction to the basics of nanotribology, including the definition, history, and significance of the field. This unit will cover the primary concepts and principles that govern the behavior of nanoscale surfaces in relative motion.
• Surface Characterization Techniques: An exploration of various techniques used to characterize nanoscale surfaces, including atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and electron microscopy. This unit will also cover spectroscopic techniques, such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy.
• Friction and Wear at the Nanoscale: A deep dive into the mechanisms of friction and wear at the nanoscale, including the fundamental forces and energy dissipation processes that govern these phenomena. This unit will also cover the effects of surface roughness, material properties, and environmental conditions on friction and wear.
• Lubrication in Nanotribology: An examination of the role of lubrication in reducing friction and wear at the nanoscale. This unit will cover various types of lubricants, including liquid, solid, and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), and their effects on the tribological behavior of nanoscale surfaces.
• Nanotribology in Energy Applications: An exploration of the applications of nanotribology in energy-related fields, such as renewable energy, transportation, and electronics. This unit will cover topics such as triboelectric nanogenerators, nanotribological bearings, and nanoscale thermal management.
• Nanotribology in Biomedical Applications: An examination of the applications of nanotribology in biomedical fields, such as drug delivery, biosensors, and medical implants. This unit will cover topics such as nanoscale drug release, biodetection, and biocompatibility.
• Computational Nanotribology:
