Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course covers the following topics :
- Synthesis of nanomaterials and divided materials;
- Study of their structure;
- Shaping;
- Excepted properties by the final user;
- Relation between the preparation process of a material and its final performances through its structure and physico-chemical properties.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, students will be able to :
- Examine questions that arise during the developement of large scale manufacture processes of nano- or finely divided materials;
- Present possible technical solutions.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Chemistry and physics courses of the first cycle.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is composed of theory sessions and one project in a group of 2 or 3 students.
Theory sessions introduce new concepts which are illustrated with numerous exemples from academic and industrial research.
The project in group aims at illustrating theoretical notions. They consist in the use description of nanomaterials in the current life.
