Course description and aims
For the production of functional materials related to the environment and energy, as well as ceramics, properties and elemental technologies related to fine particles are important such as quantum effects due to the size of fine particles, peculiar properties due to the shape of fine particles, grinding and sorting, dispersion and aggregation in liquids, the rheology of suspension, etc. In this course students will gain an understanding of the shape, structure, dispersion, etc. of these fine particles, and learn about their relationship with the recent environmental and energy fields.
Student learning outcomes
Students will gain an understanding of the physical properties and characteristics of fine particles important for the manufacturing of environmental technologies and ceramics, from the viewpoint of fine particle engineering and chemical engineering for powder dispersion and rheology, and the viewpoint of quantum mechanics and solid physics for quantum size effects.
