Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student will know the important innovations ongoing in industries aimed to the production and exploitation of nanomaterials. He/she will become skilled in the techniques available for the challenging characterization of nanomaterials and on the possible threats they pose on health and safety of humans and the environment. The student is expected to be able to: 1. propose innovative solutions for the obtainment fo nanomaterial; 2. find innovative application to nanosized materials and find correct applications of nanomaterials for specific problems
