Course description and aims

Organic materials support our daily life as fibers, plastics, rubbers, wood, papers, and foods. They include informative materials used in liquid crystals and organic electroluminescence displays, electronic materials such as conducting and semiconducting molecules, medical materials such as artificial organs, and energy materials used in organic solar cells and fuel cells. Cutting-edge technology is based on all these materials. In this course, students will learn the synthesis and fundamental properties of organic materials.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will:
1) Gain the fundamental knowledge about organic materials.
2) Understand the functions of organic materials.
3) Learn industrial applications of organic materials.

Keywords

Organic and polymeric materials, materials engineering, organic synthesis, analysis methods, property measurements

Competencies that will be developed

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

Class flow

This lecture is an omnibus format by 12 faculty members, introducing basics and state-of-the-art research topics in organic materials science.
