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
Intermolecular forces, Electric dipole, van der Waals interaction, Surface tension, Adsorption, Processes at solid surface, Colloid, Interface, Surfactant, 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
At the beginning of each class, solutions to exercise problems that were assigned during the previous class are reviewed. Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to the lecture given that day to solve. To prepare for class, students should read the course schedule section and check what topics will be covered. Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purposes.
