Aim
This industry-focused nanotechnology program is designed to bridge the gap between academic nanoscience and real-world industrial applications. Participants will learn how nanomaterials are developed, characterized, scaled, quality-tested, and integrated into products across sectors such as coatings, energy, electronics, healthcare, water, and advanced manufacturing. The course emphasizes practical decision-making: selecting the right nanomaterial, validating performance, managing safety, and building industry-ready documentation—ending with a capstone product concept or pilot-scale plan.
Program Objectives
- Understand Industry Nanotech: Learn where nanotechnology delivers commercial value and where it fails.
- Materials & Applications: Explore key nanomaterials (CNTs, graphene, nanocellulose, nano-oxides, quantum dots, etc.) and their use cases.
- Scale-Up Thinking: Understand synthesis-to-scale challenges: dispersion, reproducibility, and batch consistency.
- Characterization & QC: Learn industry-relevant testing, quality metrics, and acceptance criteria.
- Safety & Compliance: Understand nano-safety, handling, exposure controls, and basic regulatory thinking.
- Product Integration: Learn how nanomaterials are formulated into coatings, polymers, inks, membranes, and composites.
- Industry Output: Develop a capstone dossier: product concept + process plan + QC + safety + commercialization logic.
Program Structure
Module 1: Nanotechnology in Industry — Value, Reality, and Roadblocks
- What industry expects: performance, consistency, cost, and reliability.
- Why many nano-products fail: dispersion issues, scale-up gaps, weak QC.
- Nanotech value chains: material supplier → formulator → product manufacturer.
- Applications snapshot: coatings, energy storage, sensors, packaging, water treatment.
Module 2: Nanomaterials Landscape (What’s Used Commercially)
- Carbon nanomaterials: graphene, CNTs, carbon black—conductivity and reinforcement.
- Nano-oxides: TiO₂, ZnO, SiO₂, Al₂O₃—UV, catalysis, barrier, mechanical improvement.
- Nanocellulose and bio-based nanomaterials: sustainable reinforcement and rheology control.
- Quantum dots and nano-metals (overview): optics, electronics, sensing applications.
Module 3: Synthesis & Processing (Lab to Pilot Thinking)
- Top-down vs bottom-up: what changes at scale.
- Wet chemistry, sol-gel, hydrothermal, CVD (overview and industrial relevance).
- Key process variables: concentration, pH, temperature, mixing, time.
- Batch-to-batch consistency: why process control matters more than “best yield.”
Module 4: Dispersion, Functionalization & Formulation (The Real Battle)
- Dispersion challenges: agglomeration, sedimentation, viscosity shifts.
- Functionalization basics: improving compatibility with polymers/solvents.
- Surfactants, binders, and stabilizers: how formulations stay stable.
- Making nano “usable”: inks, coatings, composites, slurries, membranes.
Module 5: Characterization & Quality Control (Industry-Relevant Metrics)
- Size and morphology basics: DLS, SEM/TEM (what each tells you).
- Surface chemistry: FTIR/Raman/XPS (conceptual relevance to performance).
- Crystal structure and phase: XRD (why it matters for consistency).
- Functional tests: conductivity, mechanical strength, barrier, catalytic activity.
- Creating acceptance criteria: specifications, tolerances, and QC batches.
Module 6: Scale-Up, Manufacturing & Process Reliability
- From grams to kilograms: mixing, heat transfer, contamination risks.
- Process documentation: SOPs, batch sheets, traceability, change control.
- Yield vs quality vs cost: balancing industrial constraints.
- Common manufacturing failure modes and troubleshooting mindset.
Module 7: Nano Safety, EHS & Regulatory Readiness
- Nano exposure routes: inhalation, dermal contact, ingestion (workplace reality).
- Safe handling: PPE, ventilation, storage, spill response, waste disposal basics.
- Safety documentation: SDS logic and what data matters for nano-products.
- Compliance mindset: labeling, transport basics, and audit-readiness.
Module 8: Commercialization & Product Strategy
- Identifying market fit: what problem your nanotech solves.
- Performance benchmarking: comparing against non-nano alternatives.
- Costing basics: raw materials, processing, QC, packaging, logistics.
- IP basics and collaboration models (industry partnerships overview).
Final Project
- Develop an Industry-Ready Nanotechnology Product Dossier.
- Include: application choice, material selection, formulation/process plan, QC tests, safety plan, and commercialization outline.
