This video was created by students in the CHE230X/ME230X: Nanobiotechnology Laboratory Experience course at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. In this video, students synthesize titanium dioxide nanoparticles using the sol-gel technique. They then demonstrate how to coat porous stainless steel and glass slides with the nanoparticles. This work was funded in part by the National Science Foundation (EEC 0941746).
