Nanoscale on fire

Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences (FORTH/ICE-HT)

The experimental demonstration will depict a characteristic property of nanomaterials, which is their enhanced reactivity over conventional materials. The demonstration refers to an experiment of fast oxidation (burning) of iron nanoparticles, which will spontaneously convert them into iron oxide (rust) within a few minutes. The experiment will be accompanied by slide presentation.

Organasation: Foundation for Research & Technology-Hellas, Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences (FORTH/ICE-HT)

The Live Experiment will take place in “ΠΓ03” from 15:00 to 17:00.
