2IM2665_Chemistry of Nanomaterials

Guidelines:• Significance and use of your Selected Material

• Find at least two chemical methods and one physical method of preparation of

your selected material system in the bulk form.

• Describe the techniques using the terminology you are familiarized during the

course.

• Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of these Methods in

terms of

– Apparatus, Chemicals used and their function

– Yield; Scalability

– Particle size, size distribution and morphology

– Performance of the material for its targeted function (compare and contrast)

• Which method is preferable for bulk production?

Plagiarism and Self-Plagiarism

• Plagiarism: using the ideas or words of another person

without giving appropriate credit (Nat. Acad. Press

document)

• Self-Plagiarism: The verbatim copying or reuse of one’s

own research (IEEE Policy statement)

Both types of plagiarism are considered to be

unacceptable practice by most scientific

publications and by this course !
