Learning outcomes
The subject enlarges the knowledge of the Inorganic Chemistry and Inorganic Technology subjects. The students will receive an insight into a production technology and properties of modern materials. The lectures are focused on the following fields: Inclusion compounds, composite materials, supramolecular compounds, ceramics, amorphous compounds, and glassy crystalline compounds. From the point of exploitation of these materials the subject will be directed towards compounds serving as materials for electronics and optoelectronics, solid inorganic electrolytes, nonlinear optical materials. In the description of the preparation and production, attention will be given to new and nontraditional methods, for instance thin-layer technologies (vacuum deposition, CVD, laser deposition), sol-gel method, hydrothermal synthesis.
