Title: Materials Chemistry & Nanosci.
Course Section Number: CHE-471-01
Department: Chemistry
Description: Materials chemistry is a dynamic research field that has steered the evolution of civilization and continues to impact our daily lives. Ceramics, polymers, semiconductors, superconductors, alloys, nanoparticles, and composites are the materials of choice for a host of applications ranging from building materials and advanced microelectronics to food packaging and medical implants. In order to develop or select the proper material for a certain application, scientists and engineers must understand the structure of various materials at the microscopic level. This is because macroscopic properties (density, chemical resistance, color, biocompatibility, etc.) are dictated by chemical structure. Today's chemists, engineers, physicists, and biologists are working diligently to develop exotic new materials to enable the revolutionary technologies of the future. This course will present a survey of the field and explore its frontiers (e.g. nanoscience) via the primary literature. This one-half credit course meets twice each week for the second half of the semester.
