Introduction:
Nanomaterials have certain properties which make them different from that of bulk materials. They can be classified into different types according to the size, morphology, physical and chemical properties. This being the case, your research group will create a Crash Course Video on the good, the bad, and the ugly of your nanoparticles. |
There are 6 main classifications of nanoparticles:
- Carbon Based Nanoparticles - include two main materials: carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and fullerenes. CNTs are nothing but graphene sheets rolled into a tube. These materials are mainly used for the structural reinforcement as they are 100 times stronger than steel.
- Metal Nanoparticles - are inorganic solids made up of oxides, carbides, carbonates and phosphates. These nanoparticles have high heat resistance and chemical inertness. They have applications in photocatalysis, photodegradation of dyes, drug delivery, and imaging.
- Ceramic Nanoparticles - are prepared from metal precursors. These nanoparticles can be synthesized by chemical, electrochemical, or photochemical methods.
- Polymeric Nanoparticles - are organic based nanoparticles. Depending upon the method of preparation, these have structures shaped like nanocapsules or nanospheres.
- Semiconductor Nanoparticles - have properties like those of metals and non-metals. They are found in the periodic table in groups II-VI, III-V or IV-VI. These particles have wide band gaps, which on tuning shows different properties. They are used in photocatalysis, electronics devices, photo-optics and water splitting applications.
- Lipid Based Nanoparticles - are generally spherical in shape with a diameter ranging from 10 to 100 nm. It consists of a solid core made of lipid and a matrix containing soluble lipophilic molecules.
Task:Once you have been assigned to your research group, you will then discuss and assign a job to each group member (if this cannot be done unanimously, I can assign everyone a task). Depending on the size of your groups, positions may be added or combined.
** EACH group member is responsible for doing the research for the video. EVERYONE should aid in answering questions and becoming EXTREMELY familiar and comfortable with your topics** |
Research Guide:
You should understand your particles fully. You and your group members should know their origin, what they’re composed of, what makes them unique, how they are applied, what type of jobs are associated with these particles, what ethical issue may arise when using them, the equipment used to analyze and study them, what their benefits to society are, and their future uses. Why should people care? What type of impact do they make to our planet (good/bad)?
**Feel free to go beyond these questions when doing your research. The more you know the better your video will be. **

Job Assignments:
Designer: The designer has the responsibility of making sure that the verbal and technical parts
of the video mesh together. This person will be mainly responsible for editing the video and applying the props/music/edits. This person is also responsible for creating the citation page from the groups research.
Speaker: The speaker is in charge of assigning speaking roles and assisting with speech
techniques (volume level, clarity, and enthusiasm). This person should be direct in their criticisms and work with the script designer in assigning parts.
Technician: The technician in charge of setting up, maintaining, and putting away the equipment for the video. The technician is also responsible for uploading the video onto Youtube by the due date and making sure it plays. You should work with the designer in editing/graphics of the video.
Script Designer: The script designer is in charge of bringing the script together and getting everyone’s input typed up and submitted by the due date.
