Project aim

• To take part in creative activity seeing the role
  of RD teamwork in new - emerging technology
  implementation and commercialization
• The general assumption for this project is that
  the group of students has an ambition to be a
  player on the market of new technologies.
• To fulfill this vision there is necessary to have
  
• the best ideas.

Project Proposal

• The ideas will appear after two - three
  think-tank sessions
• Some entry proposals will be done by the EPS
  Project supervisor from the field of his
  experience
• nanotechnology

Nanomaterials

• The term "nanomaterials" means "anything smaller
  than micromaterials," such as nanopowders,
  nanowires, nanotubes
• other things that are in nanoscale size
• Nano from 10 to 100 of atom diameters

Nanotechnology

• Many materials, once they are individually
  reduced below 100 nanometers, begin displaying a
  set of unique characteristics.
• Imagine a world in which microscopic procreating
  robots are sent into the human body with the
  mission of detecting cancer cells, disassembling
  them, and sending them out into the bloodstream
  as waste products.
• It will be implemented in a few years !!!!

Project Proposal

• Study the applications of nanotechnology
• Students will be introduced to the main subject
  area with several lecture presentations and they
  also will be able to visit nonomaterials
  laboratory to attend the nanofabrication and
  diagnostic processes.
• The final result of the project will be a Concept
  Design or Feasibility Study of one of
  Nano-Products (or Systems) selected from
• upgraded Rechargeable Batteries or
  Supercapacitors
• Or one or more of NanoSystems for medical
  applications.

Project Proposal

• This EPS project is especially addressed to
  students for understanding a potential influence
  of RD activities on diverse and revolutionary
  changes in the human life.
• Study of the state-of-the-art for particular
  technologies compared to the expected research
  achievements and the economic assessment of the
  proposed options will allow to evaluate
  perspectives of wide commercialisation of these
  the new ideas.
