Course description and aims
This course focuses on nanomaterials, and covers the fundamentals of nanomaterials and the design of effective functionality by chemical and physical combination of molecules, nanomaterials and bulk materials. Synthetic strategy of nanomaterials by bottom-up and top-down methods, basic theory of novel or enhanced physical properties resulted in miniaturization, and the concept of combination of materials are essential in the field of materials science to develop fine and novel functionalities.
These approaches are not only useful for nanomaterials, but are applicable to design energy devices and other materials.
This course introduces cyclodextrins, inclusion compounds and fine polymer particles as organic nanocomposite,.
Students will have the chance to tackle practical problems by applying knowledge acquired through this course.
This course facilitates students’ understanding materials and ability to develop novel materials.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain nanomaterials.
2) Explain synthetic conceept of nanomaterials.
3) Explain specific properties and features of nanomaterials, and the difference from bulk materials.
4) Design novel materials and solve the prospective problems for the system design.
Keywords
Nanomaterials, supramolecular chemistry, polymer particles, composites.
lithium ion battery, secondary battery, energy conversion materials, binder, separator
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to what is taught on that day to solve.
