This subject describes the tailoring of materials with crystallite size, particle size and/or pore size in the nanometer regime. A variety of chemical approaches have been developed to synthesize these nanostructured materials with a great deal of compositional flexibility and surface functionality. These novel materials are designed as catalysts, membranes, sensors, gas absorbents, advanced ceramics, biomaterials and drug delivery systems with unique size dependent properties and ultrahigh surface reactivity. Through the self-assembly of molecular and supramolecular building blocks, hierarchical structures with nanoscaled features can also be processed. These bulk systems are of great interest for molecular electronic and biomedical applications. NOTE: Participating students may register for 10.522 (3-0-6), which continues through spring 2003 (until 3/31).
