After successful completion of the course, students are able to design a material for a given application, i.e. bearing a set of properties required for the application. This includes the capability (i) to conceive the synthesis of a desired material, (ii) conceive the processing of a desired material.
Ultimate learning goal 2: The students shall be aware of the current challenges in materials chemistry and shall know about ways to address these challenges.
Intermediate learning goals: At the end of this lecture, the studenst shall:
This lecture contains two parts. The first part is held together with lecture 165.146 (synthesis of inorganic materials). The second part is taking place in January 2019. All lecture dates are specified under "additional information".
Chapter1: Basics of materials (definitions of materials; materials properties; structure-property relationships)
Chapter2: Synthesis of bulk materials (crystalline vs. amorphous solids; synthesis of crystalline solids from solution/melt/gas/solid state; synthesis of amorphous solids from solution/melt/gas/solid state)
Chapter3: Structuring of materials (nano- and microstructuring; porous materials)
Chapter4: Combination of materials (hybrids, composites)
Chapter5: Challenges in modern materials chemistry
-- Planning of exemplary syntheses
-- discussion excercises
