The applied chemistry field includes the field of inventing and producing materials. A fundamental approach to materials is crucial in inventing new materials and making full use of them. Understanding the crystal structure and phase diagram of solids—of organic and metallic materials in addition to inorganic ones—is important in understanding the mechanical properties, reinforcement, and deterioration of materials.
[Student learning outcomes] A learning outcome of this course is that students will be able to understand the crystal structures of solids and phase diagrams of solid materials as the basic foundation for working with inorganic, organic, and metallic materials. They will also understand the basics of material deterioration, especially metal corrosion. Further, they will have acquired ways of thinking about the theoretical strength of materials and how to strengthen them, as well as deterioration and how to prevent it, based on their understanding of crystal structures and phase diagrams. They will be able to use materials created in the field of applied chemistry in practical applications.
[Theme] The goal of this course is to give students the understanding of the crystal structures of solids and the way to think of phase diagrams of solid materials and to build the foundation for them to use this knowledge in fields of applied chemistry. Students will also understand and acquire the basics of material strength and deterioration.
