1. EPS Project Proposal1. Nanotechnology for Energy Saving. Nano-Product (System)-Concept Design.2. Nanotechnology. Might it be a prescription for longer life? Feasibility of a chosen application. Z. Kolacinski, Technical University of Lodz Poland,

2. Project aim • To take part in creative activity seeing the role of R&D teamwork in new - emerging technology implementation and commercialization • The general assumption for this project is that the group of studentshas an ambition to be a player on the market of new technologies. • To fulfill this vision there is necessary to have the best ideas. Z. Kolacinski, Technical University of Lodz Poland

3. 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 Z. Kolacinski, Technical University of Lodz Poland

4. NANOTECHNOLOGYProject Covers interdyscyplinary strategic priorityareas: • Energysaving and clean sources • Health& medical systems Z. Kolacinski, Technical University of Lodz Poland

5. 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 Z. Kolacinski, Technical University of Lodz Poland

6. Nanomaterial growing Zbigniew Kołaciński

7. 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 !!!!

21. 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 nonomaterial’s laboratory to attend the nanofabrication and diagnostic processes. The final result of the project will bea 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 formedical applications. Z. Kolacinski, Technical University of Lodz Poland

22. Project Proposal • This EPS project is especially addressed to students for understanding a potential influence of R&D 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.
