Course contents :
|
|||||||||||||||||
Key-concepts of modern physical chemistry are introduced in the frame of various topics oriented towards the applications of physical chemistry in material sciences (B. Leyh, 20 hours) and biomolecular chemistry (C. Damblon, 10 hours):
|
|||||||||||||||||
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|||||||||||||||||
| At the end of the course, the students are expected to be able to apply the basic ideas of physical chemistry to account for the structural and thermodynamical behaviour of matter, in particular, modern materials and biomolecules. Making the link between molecular properties and the macroscopic observations will be an important aspect in their way of thinking. | |||||||||||||||||
|
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
|
|||||||||||||||||
| The course is based on the essential mathematical, physical and chemical concepts taught during the bachelor studies in physics. | |||||||||||||||||
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
|||||||||||||||||
| There is no practical laboratory work associated with this course. Selected experimental demonstrations may be presented during the theoretical lectures. | |||||||||||||||||
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
|||||||||||||||||
| 30 hours theoretical lectures (each lecture lasts 3 hours with break) | |||||||||||||||||
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
|||||||||||||||||
| Copies of slides will be made available.
Textbook (for the lectures taught by B. Leyh): Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules, G. Patterson, CRC Press (2007) |
|||||||||||||||||
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
|||||||||||||||||
| The theoretical competences are assessed during an oral (B. Leyh) and a written (C. Damblon) examination. The students may consult their lecture notes/reference textbook during these assessments.
To obtain a grade of at least 8/20, it is required to reach at least 8/20 in both parts of the course. |
