Objectives
TTHE COURSE PROVIDES THE METHODOLOGIES NECESSARY TO BE INTRODUCED IN THE CONTEXT OF NANOSCIENCES FOR SUSTAINABILITY. STARTING FROM THE DEFINITION OF NANOSCALE, IT INTRODUCES STUDENTS TO THE CONCEPT OF NANOSCIENCE WHICH ALLOWS THE CONTROL OF MATTER ON THE NANOMETRIC SCALE. THE GOAL IS TO PROVIDE THE BASIC CONCEPTS OF THE USE OF NANOSCIENCES TO CONTRIBUTE TO SUSTAINABLE TRANSITION.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF NANOSCIENCE
BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF SUSTAINABILITY CONCEPTS.

ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
ABILITY TO IDENTIFY PROBLEMS CONNECTED WITH SUSTAINABLE CHOICES
ABILITY TO PLAN POSSIBLE SCIENTIFIC RESOLVING APPROACHES

AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO INDEPENDENTLY ASSESS:
• THE VALIDITY AND THE LIMITS OF THE CHARACTERISTICS AND THE PHYSICAL CHEMICAL BEHAVIOR OF NANOSTRUCTURES
• THE CRITERIA FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF NANOMATERIALS AND SYSTEMS IN RELATION TO THEIR APPLICATIONS.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT CONVERSATIONS ON ISSUES RELATED TO NANOTECHNOLOGIES AND SUSTAINABILITY WITH ADEQUATE SCIENTIFIC TERMINOLOGY AND KNOWLEDGE OF TOOLS FOR THE REPRESENTATION OF THE DESCRIBED PHENOMENA.
Prerequisites
KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS IN PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY.
Contents
• INTRODUCTION TO NANOSCIENCES (4 HOURS THEORY)
• INTRODUCTION TO SUSTAINABILITY (4 HOURS THEORY)
• MANUFACTURING PRODUCTION: SOURCES, HISTORY (THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY HEATON CHAPTER 2 CHAPTER 5) (3 HOURS THEORY)
• THE ROLE OF CATALYSTS IN MANUFACTURING PROCESSES (3 HOURS THEORY)
• SYNTHESIS PROCESSES OF NANOMATERIALS AND DEVICES (2 HOURS OF THEORY + 8 HOURS OF LAB)
BOTTOM-UP APPROACH (FROM THE BOTTOM UP): MATERIALS AND DEVICES ARE MADE FROM MOLECULAR COMPONENTS THAT SELF-ASSEMBLY (0.5 HOURS THEORY)
TOP-DOWN APPROACH: DEVICES ARE MANUFACTURED FROM MACROSCOPIC MATERIALS THROUGH CAREFUL CONTROL OF MINIATURIZATION PROCESSES AT THE ATOMIC LEVEL (0.5 THEORY HOUR)
GENERATION IN AEROSOL (PYROLYSIS IN FLAME, LASER PYROLYSIS, …) (0.3 THEORY HOUR)

Verification of learning
FINAL ORAL EXAMINATION. THE EXAM IS AIMED AT ASSESSING THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF NANOSCIENCES, OF THE STRUCTURE OF MATTER AND ITS TRANSFORMATIONS.
THE TEST WILL BE INTENDED TO VERIFY THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE BASIS OF THE USE OF NANOSCIENCES IN THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABILITY.
THE MINIMUM ASSESSMENT LEVEL (18/30) IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE DIFFERENT CONTENT OF THE PROGRAM AND A FRAGMENTARY KNOWLEDGE OF THE THEORETICAL CONTENT AND LIMITED ABILITY TO USE THEM.
THE MAXIMUM LEVEL (30/30) IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES A COMPLETE AND IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE METHODOLOGIES AND TOOLS AND HAS A CONSIDERABLE ABILITY TO USE THEM IN THE STUDY CONTEXT.
PRAISE IS GIVEN WHEN THE CANDIDATE DEMONSTRATES SIGNIFICANT MASTERY OF THE METHODOLOGIES AND TOOLS, EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION SKILLS, CONNECTION READY AND STRONG INDEPENDENT ABILITY.
THE MARK, EXPRESSED OUT OF THIRTY WITH ANY HUMANS, WILL DEPEND ON THE GLOBAL MATURITY ACQUIRED ON THE COURSE CONTENT.
KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF THE CLASSIFICATION OF NANOMATERIALS, OF THE SYNTHESIS METHODS AND OF THE APPLICATION APPROACHES IS NECESSARY FOR THE SUFFICIENCY.
WE WILL TAKE ACCOUNT OF:
• THE QUALITY OF THE EXPOSURE AND LANGUAGE
• THE CAPACITY TO CORRELATE BETWEEN DIFFERENT TOPICS AND WITH OTHER DISCIPLINES
• THE INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT CAPACITY
THE STUDENT REACHES THE LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE IF THEY PROVE ABLE TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS THAT REQUIRE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN VARIOUS ELEMENTS, REACHING A SOLUTION BY VERIFYING THE ASSUMPTIONS MADE
