2. What is considered too large for the nano realm?Powers of 10 (10 x)http://www.eamesoffice.com/powers_of_ten/powers_of_ten.htmlhttp://www.powersof10.com/ Plant Cell = 0.00001276 meters wide (12.76 x 10 -6) (12.76 millionths of a meter) (12,760 nanometers!) Earth = 12,760,000 meters wide (12.76 x 10 6), 12.76 million meters Nano scale is regarded as < 1,000 nanometers ~1/50 the diameter of a human hair (anything less than a micron (10-6 m). Chemists typically think in views and images of < 1 nanometer.)

3. ~ 0.1 nm Anders Jöns Ångström (1814-1874) 1 Å = 10 picometers = 0.1 nanometers = 10-4 microns = 10-8 centimeters Nucleus = 1/10,000 of the atom • 1 nm = 10 Å • An atom vs. a nucleus • ~10,000 x larger

It includess enormous on-line libraries of molecules.

8. Globular proteins:A larger number of atoms rolled into relative small volumes Protein sizes are most often referred to by their molecular masses (daltons; 1 amu = 1 dalton), not by their dimensions because of their globular nature.

14. The “Lotus Effect” Biomimicryhttp://www.bfi.org/Trimtab/spring01/biomimicry.htm • Lotus petals have micrometer-scale roughness, resulting in water contact angles up to 170° • See the Left image in the illustration on the right. Wax

15. The “Lotus Effect” Biomimicryhttp://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/299/5611/1377/DC1 • Isotactic polypropylene (i-PP) melted between two glass slides and subsequent crystallization provided a smooth surface. Atomic force microscopy tests indicated that the surface had root mean square (rms) roughness of 10 nm. • A) The water drop on the resulting surface had a contact angle of 104° ± 2 • B) the water drop on a superhydrophobic i-PP coating surface has a contact angle of 160°.
