An Introduction to Nanoparticle Synthesis and Applications

This audio recording, provided by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, provides an introduction to nanoparticle synthesis and applications. During the recording, Sebastien Maeder from Pennsylvania State Unviersity discusses different ways to synthesize nanoparticles, including colloidal chemical methods, attrition, pyrolysis, Radio Frequency (RF) Plasma, thermal decomposition, and pulsed laser method. Also discussed are applications of various types of nanoparticles, such as zinc oxide and gold.

The recording runs 27:34 minutes in length. Also included are the presentation slides to go with the audio lecture.
