Course description and aims

Interfacial phenomena are a key item of relevance to almost all areas of everyday life and industry. They are the basis for all applications in energy conversion, biomaterials, electronic materials, and so on. The aim of this course is to provide a practical grounding in the broad field of colloid and interface chemistry in general.

Student learning outcomes

By taking this course, students will be able to know and explain the basic vocabulary of colloidal interface chemistry.

Keywords

Colloid, Interface, Surfactant, adsorption, desorption, contact angle, electric double layer

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Explain using black board and slides, sometimes including handout or short test. 
If our campus recommends online, the lectures will be online except for the test.
