The Material World: Chemistry & Applications
Course Number:
CHE00023I
Course Description:
This module builds on the knowledge established in Year 1 of the Chemistry programme. It introduces students to the way in which modern materials have changed our lifestyle beyond recognition, providing an insight into the cutting edge of materials chemistry and how it underpins the technological developments expected in the 21st century. The module focuses in particular on how the molecular structure controls the materials properties and connects with real practical applications. The module introduces general aspects in the topic of materials science (structure and physical properties) and considers the origins of nanotechnology in colloid science. It then goes on to explore specific applications of modern materials, in LCD technologies, energy storage devices, and biomedical technologies . These concepts are followed by studying how nanotechnology is increasingly being integrated into modern advanced materials. In particular, the course will illustrate how developing materials with well-defined molecular nanostructures can lead to new
