Nanotechnology Labratory
The Nanotechnology Laboratory is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to teaching and conducting research in the field of nanotechnology. It provides undergraduate and graduate students with hands-on experience in characterizing and synthesizing materials at the nanoscale.
The laboratory focuses on a wide range of applications, with particular emphasis on biomedical, technological, and industrial uses. One of the key techniques employed in the lab is electrospinning, which allows to produce nanofibers with precise control over their size, composition, and morphology. These nanofibers find applications in various fields such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, organic electronics, photovoltaics, filtration, and membrane technology.
The lab is equipped with advanced electrospinning devices that enable students to explore the production of nanofibers and understand their properties and potential applications. Students learn to manipulate parameters such as polymer solutions, electric fields, and spinning conditions to optimize the characteristics of the nanofibers for specific purposes. They also gain proficiency in characterizing the nanofibers using techniques such as electron microscopy, spectroscopy, and surface analysis.
In addition to electrospinning, the Nanotechnology Laboratory utilizes Electron Discharge Machining (EDM) to synthesize nanofluids and investigate their unique characteristics and potential applications. Nanofluids are suspensions of nanoparticles in a liquid medium, and their properties can be tailored for various purposes, such as heat transfer enhancement, lubrication, and optical applications.
The Nanotechnology Laboratory provides a collaborative and innovative environment where students can engage in cutting-edge research, develop critical thinking skills, and contribute to the advancement of nanotechnology. Through hands-on experiments and research projects, students gain practical knowledge and expertise that prepares them for careers in academia, industry, and research institutions.
