CHIM0072-1  Engineering of nanomaterials and divided materials

Duration :  15h Th, 15h Pr
Number of credits :  
Master in Biomedical Engineering, in-depth approach, 2nd yearSecond semester3
Master in Chemical Engineering and Materrial Sciences, in-depth approach, 2nd yearSecond semester3
Lecturer :  Benoît Heinrichs
Language(s) of instruction :  
French language
Course contents :  
The course covers the following topics:
  • Synthesis of nano- and divided materials;
  • Study of their structure;
  • Shaping;
  • Properties expected by the final user;
  • Relation between the preparation process of a material and its final performances through its structure and physico-chemical properties;
  • Possible processes for the manufacture and the shaping at an industrial scale.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
  • examine questions that arise during the development of large scale manufacture processes of nano- or finely divided materials;
  • present possible technical solutions.
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
Chemistry and physics courses of the first cycle.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
The course is composed of theory sessions and laboratories sessions. Those sessions are complementary.
Theory sessions introduce new concepts which are illustrated with numerous examples from academic and industrial research.
Laboratories sessions aim at illustrating theoretical notions. They consist in the synthesis and caracterization of a nanomaterial.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :  
Face-to-face
Recommended or required readings :  
Copy of slides.
Assessment methods and criteria :  
Work in laboratory and report: 40% of the final note.
Final oral exam: 60% of the final note.
Organizational remarks :  
Second quadrimestre.
