Nanotechnology: ferrofluids to liquid crystals  (Page 4/4)

 Page 4 / 4

Chemicals

• Cholesteryl oleyl carbonate
• Cholesteryl pelargonate
• Cholesteryl benzoate
• Vials
• Heat gun

Liquid crystal synthesis

• Place 0.65 g cholesteryl oleyl carbonate, 0.25 g cholesteryl pelargonate, and 0.10 g cholesteryl benzoate in a vial.
• In a hood, with the cap off, melt the solid in with a heat gun.
• While the mixture is still a liquid, divide it into separate vials using a disposable pipette. Put the caps back on the vials. Allow the vials to cool and observe their properties.
• Clean up your bench area.
• Listed below is a chart of the different ratios that produce liquid crystals with different transition temperatures. Placing liquid crystals with different transition temperatures next to each other on a clear piece of contact paper makes it possible to make a thermometer.

Part i. demo of gold nanoparticles

• In a 3 nm gold particle, what percentage of the atoms are on the surface? Hint: You need to find the radius of a single gold atom and the equation for the volume of a sphere is also helpful. Remember that the volume of a shell is Vshell=4/3πr3 (r3-(r-2r)3).
I am giving them this because all the students had trouble with this. The other things are easier to find but this isn’t.

Part ii. synthesis of an aqueous ferrofluid

• How would you make a 100 mL solution of 1.0 M ${\text{FeCl}}_{3}$ in 2.0 M HCl from ${\text{FeCl}}_{3}\cdot {6H}_{2}O$ and concentrated HCl solution? Show all calculations. Hint: First find volume of water needed to make concentrated HCl ~12.1 M

Part iii. liquid crystal synthesis

• In your own words, explain what a liquid crystal is.

Part i. demo of gold nanoparticles

• What was the starting color of the ${\text{HAuCl}}_{4}$ solution?
• What was the beginning oxidation state of Au?
• What was the ending oxidation state of Au?
• What is the purpose of the sodium citrate solution?
• What is the total surface area of 3 g of 5 nm gold particles assuming gold has a density of $9\text{.}3g/{\text{cm}}^{3}$ ?
• What is the total surface area of 3 g of 5 micrometer gold particles assuming gold has a density of $9\text{.}3g/{\text{cm}}^{3}$ ?

Part ii. synthesis of an aqueous ferrofluid

• Write out the over-all balanced equation for the ferrofluid synthesis.
• Why did we rinse the nanoparticles three times with water (what are you specifically removing)?
• What is the purpose of the surfactant? Chemically explain the process.
• Other than those listed, what are three uses for ferrofluids.

Part iii. liquid crystal synthesis

• As the color of the liquid crystal changes, what is happening to the pitch length?
• If the color is green and changes to red, chemically/physically explain what has happened to the liquid crystal and be specific. .Hint: Look at the wavenmber values assigned to each color. Does this correspond to a temperature increase or decrease? Why?
• A student measures 0.66 g cholesteryl oleyl carbonate, 0.69 g cholesteryl pelargonate, 0.15 g cholesteryl benzoate and combines them to make a liquid crystal. What is the most likely transition temperature?

where we get a research paper on Nano chemistry....?
what are the products of Nano chemistry?
There are lots of products of nano chemistry... Like nano coatings.....carbon fiber.. And lots of others..
learn
Even nanotechnology is pretty much all about chemistry... Its the chemistry on quantum or atomic level
learn

no nanotechnology is also a part of physics and maths it requires angle formulas and some pressure regarding concepts

I only see partial conversation and what's the question here!
what about nanotechnology for water purification
please someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think one can use nanoparticles, specially silver nanoparticles for water treatment.
Damian
yes that's correct
Professor
I think
Professor
Nasa has use it in the 60's, copper as water purification in the moon travel.
Alexandre

what is the stm
is there industrial application of fullrenes. What is the method to prepare fullrene on large scale.?
Rafiq
industrial application...? mmm I think on the medical side as drug carrier, but you should go deeper on your research, I may be wrong
Damian
How we are making nano material?
what is a peer
What is meant by 'nano scale'?
What is STMs full form?
LITNING
scanning tunneling microscope
Sahil
how nano science is used for hydrophobicity
Santosh
Do u think that Graphene and Fullrene fiber can be used to make Air Plane body structure the lightest and strongest. Rafiq
Rafiq
what is differents between GO and RGO?
Mahi
what is simplest way to understand the applications of nano robots used to detect the cancer affected cell of human body.? How this robot is carried to required site of body cell.? what will be the carrier material and how can be detected that correct delivery of drug is done Rafiq
Rafiq
if virus is killing to make ARTIFICIAL DNA OF GRAPHENE FOR KILLED THE VIRUS .THIS IS OUR ASSUMPTION
Anam
analytical skills graphene is prepared to kill any type viruses .
Anam
Any one who tell me about Preparation and application of Nanomaterial for drug Delivery
Hafiz
what is Nano technology ?
write examples of Nano molecule?
Bob
The nanotechnology is as new science, to scale nanometric
brayan
nanotechnology is the study, desing, synthesis, manipulation and application of materials and functional systems through control of matter at nanoscale
Damian
Is there any normative that regulates the use of silver nanoparticles?
what king of growth are you checking .?
Renato
What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.
Joe
how did you get the value of 2000N.What calculations are needed to arrive at it
