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.
This course contributes to the learning outcomes I.1, I.2, II.1, II.2, III.1, III.2, IV.2, V.1, V.2, VI.1, VI.2, VII.1, VII.2, VII.3, VII.4 of the MSc in biomedical engineering.

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 two half-days of observations in the Laboratory of Nanomaterials, Catalysis and Electrochemistry, with a doctoral student or a senior researcher.
Theory sessions introduce new concepts which are illustrated with numerous exemples from academic and industrial research.
The half-days of observations illustrate the theory sessions. They will consist in the synthesis and the characteriztion of a specific nanomaterial. A quiz, distributed during the theory sessions, will be completed after both half-days and transmitted to the professor.
