How is chemical engineering related to nanotechnology?

The basics of nanotechnology, however, lie in understanding how these materials interact with each other and when what is required to do how and why - something which you start by learning in Chemical Engineering. Frankly, Chemical Engineering is high on physics and maths and not so much about only chemistry. Hence you start understanding the principles of nanotech via chemical engineering. Hope this helps. read more

Chemical majors such as BASF are among the leading companies working to develop solutions for global issues using nanotechnology. The company is working on a new generation of nano-foams. At the start of 2010, Bayer MaterialScience opened a pilot facility for the manufacture of carbon nanotubes in Leverkusen. read more

There are six different options within the chemical engineering department, and I am currently focusing on nanotechnology. Basically with the substitution of a few different chemical engineering elective classes, you can get a more specialized education in a specific branch of the field while still getting all the basic classes too. read more
