Course content
|
Students will complete exercises in modern methods for the synthesis and characterization of solid materials as: Exercise 1: Synthesis of metallic nanoparticles and determination of their size using UVVis spectroscopy. Exercise 2: Methods for dispersing and stabilizing nanoparticles and determination of their size using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). Exercise 3: Synthesis of amorphous SiO particles. Exercise 4: Assessment of the photoactivity of TiO materials for pollutant degradation. Exercise 5: Determination of sorption capacity and the effect of temperature on sorption for porous materials. Exercise 6: Microwave synthesis of thin films and their characterization. Exercise 7: Monitoring interactions of nanofibers with liquids. Additional demonstration: Raman and FTIR spectroscopy; Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM); Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).

Learning outcomes
|
The course aims to introduce students at a basic level to modern methods for the synthesis and characterization of solid materials used in materials applications. Students will gain practical experience with contemporary samplepreparation techniques and characterization methods under the supervision of experienced specialists. Instruction will be delivered only during part of the semester to accommodate students' planned internships. Students will acquire a practical foundation for work in materials and biomaterials laboratories prior to beginning professional placements, which would ideally follow directly in the summer semester.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Written examination
During the laboratory sessions, students' preparation is monitored through ongoing written tests and oral examinations of individual students. Students submit the final products of their experimental work for review and then document their work in writing as a laboratory report. The overall grade includes the experimental results, the outcomes of continuous assessment, and the final written exam.
