Chemistry
Name: Nano-functional Materials
Catalog Number: 413001Y Hours/Credits: 40/2
Prerequisite(s):
At least two courses within Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Polymer Chemistry. The course is designed for material chemists who do not have an extensive math or physics background. It is suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students.
Course Description:
To extend the concepts and skills acquired in second year courses containing strong principles of physical, inorganic, and/or organic chemistry as their basis; To introduce the concepts of molecular-level, building-block logic supporting the concepts of “Bottom-up” and supramolecular chemistry leading to a stronger understanding of the development of materials and their properties from a nanometer-scale perspective; To blend recent and current research activities from selected peer-reviewed literature articles exemplifying nanochemistry and/or nanomaterials science with a focus on analyzing their fundamental principles.
Course Content:
Chapter 1 Inorganic nano-funtional materials Chapter 2 Organic nano-funtional materials Chapter 3 Novel meso-porous funtional materials Chapter 4 Nano-functional materials based on organic-inorganic hybrids Chapter 5 Nano-functional materials in the energy and enviorment Chapter 6 Nucletic acid-based functional materials
