University of Basrah Organizes Workshop on Nanoparticle Production
The Marine Science Center at the University of Basrah organized a workshop entitled "Nanoparticle Production Using Physical Methods."
The workshop aimed to provide participants with fundamental knowledge of nanomaterials, their manufacturing methods, characterization, and practical applications.
The workshop, presented by lecturer Anwar Abdul'Karim Juma, included an introduction to physical methods, specifically the top-down principle for reducing condensed materials to nanometer dimensions (1-100 nm). It also covered key physical techniques such as high-energy ball milling, its mechanism, and the factors affecting milling time, temperature, and the auxiliary material. Furthermore, the workshop addressed the production of nanopowders, physical vaporization and condensation (PVD), pulsed laser deposition (PLD), cathode ray spraying for preparing thin films and purified particles, laser ablation, and electrospraying for producing fine particles using a high electric field.
The workshop highlighted the advantages of producing high-purity particles without toxic chemicals, with precise size control, suitable for various metals and oxides.
