The Department for Nanoscience and Technology was started in the year 2008 with an objective to undertake advanced technology transfer research in the field of Nanoscience and Technology. The Department is offering the Post Graduate programme in M.Tech. Nanoscience and Technology since 2008 and also offers Ph.D. in the field of Nanoscience and Technology. From the year 2014, the Department has been offering the Under Graduate programme in B.Tech. Nanoscience and Technology under Anna University, Chennai.
Department of Nano Science and Technology is currently carrying out the research conducting among students on different domains based on industrial need. Our Department is pioneer in the mass production of nano metal oxides from natural resources for different industrial applications such as Tissue engineering, Agriculture, Energy storage, Refractory, Textile, Defense applications, etc.

Collects data on various mechanical, functional and electrical properties at the nanoscale as well as for topography (surface) studies. They have a resolution on the order of 103 times better than optical microscopy’s resolution limit.
BET Surface Area & Pore Volume Analyzer is an instrument to determine the specific surface area of powders, solids and granules, the values are expressed in meter square per gram, pore size analysis, micropore analysis, pore size distribution by pore diameter, pore volume and pore surface area.
An X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer is an x-ray instrument used for routine, relatively non-destructive chemical analyses of rocks, minerals, sediments and fluids. It works on wavelength-dispersive spectroscopic principles that are similar to an electron microprobe (EPMA).
The Autolab potentiostat/galvanostat instrument is state of the art instrumentation that can be used for virtually all electrochemical applications.
The contact angle is the angle formed when a drop of liquid meets a solid surface. It is used to characterize the wetting properties of surfaces, by using the Young equation. Contact angle is often used to measure cleanliness, roughness, absorption, surface heterogeneity, among other properties.
Infrared spectrometry is useful for the identification of both organic and inorganic compounds. Aggregates of atoms (or functional groups) such as C=O, -NO2, C-N, and C-F; just to name a few, are all associated with characteristic infrared absorptions.
