Course description and aims
This course is for students in Tokyo Tech-Tsinghua University joint graduate program. The course is held at Tsinghua University in Beijing and mainly deals with the fundamental concepts of soft materials. Since the instructors and the topics change every year, the course contents will be revised every year. This year, the course will be divided into two: the former half will deal with ionic liquid and the latter half will be fundamentals of aromatic engineering plastics and their functionalization of optical, thermal, and electrical properties.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students will acquire the following abilities:
1) Students will gain an understanding of the structure, properties, and functions of ionic liquids.
2) Ability to explain fundamentals of aromatic engineering plastics and their functionalization of optical, thermal, and electrical properties.
Keywords
ionic liquid, physical chemistry, surface chemistry, aromatic polymers, optical properties, thermal expansion / thermal conduction
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
This course will proceed in the following order: (1) Single molecule spectroscopy and super-resolution microscopy, (2) the structure and properties of aromatic polymers
