Course description and aims
For understanding of fundamental properties of organic functional materials, fundamental concepts of surface, interface, state of matter and optical properties are lectured.
Student learning outcomes
Understand important concepts necessary to design organic functional materials.
Keywords
Liquid crystal, Birefringence, Polarized light, Solid/liquid interfaces, Polymer nanomaterials
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 assigned during the previous class are reviewed. Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to what is taught on that day to solve. Before coming to class, students should read the course schedule and check what topics will be covered. Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purposes.
