Functional materials
7.5 ECTS creditsFunctional materials are materials made for a specific purpose, such as mechanical, electronic, photonic, chemical, medicinal, or biological functions. The course covers crystalline and molecular materials as well as inorganic and organic compounds. Further, the course covers physical and chemical properties of materials and phenomena that arise from nanostructuring. Technical applications of functional materials are also discussed.
The course covers the following categories of functional materials:
Instruction is in the form of lectures, seminars, and laboratory projects. Participation in seminars and projects is mandatory.
