This document provides an outline for the NPTEL Syllabus on "Nanostructures and Nanomaterials: Characterization and Properties". The course will provide an overview of nanostructures and their unique mechanical, optical, electromagnetic, chemical, and biological properties compared to bulk materials. It will discuss hierarchical development from nano to macro scales and how nature utilizes this. Techniques for structural, phase, microstructural and mechanical characterization will be covered in detail. The 42-hour course is divided into 11 topics covering areas like crystalline nanomaterials, multiscale structures in nature, carbon nanotubes, thermodynamics of nanomaterials, properties, characterization techniques like BET and TEM, deformation and fracture behavior.
