Holder(s) :  Inorganic materials : Bénédicte Vertruyen
Organic and biological materials : Anne‑Sophie Duwez
Language :  French language
Course contents :  
Inorganic materials

The course will provide an overview of :
- synthesis and shaping techniques of inorganic materials
- some major families of inorganic compounds, chosen to illustrate the most common/interesting properties and applications of inorganic materials

Organic and biological materials

Part time: Oganic + Biological

The course will deal with synthesis, properties, and applications of several classes of organic/biological advanced materials. The recent developments in chemistry have enabled the synthesis of materials presenting more and more complex architectures, trying to compete with the complexity and sophistication of natural materials. The course will describe several strategies and principles used by nature to create complex hierarchical structures, highly organized, capable of fulfilling specific functions. It will show how chemists use those principles to synthesise functional organic or bio-hybrid materials.
