Syllabus
Types and properties of nanocomposites (filling factor, electrical and optical properties).
Synthesis of nanocomposites by means of vacuum-based techniques (simultaneous deposition, sputtering in combination with plasma polymerization, use of metal-organic precursors, nanoparticle sources).
Fabrication of nanostructured materials (PVD, CVD, PE-CVD, GLAD, etching, lithography...).
Growth of nanoparticles (nucleation, coagulation, coalescence) and their synthesis by means of vacuum-based techniques.
Carbon nanotubes, graphene.
Electrospinning.
ALD and MLD.
Properties and applications of nanocomposite and nanostructured materials (plasmonics, wettability, bio-applications).
