Learning outcomes
|
Students acquire advanced knowledge about bonding in solids, about their structure and selected properties. They should gain experience in evaluating the structure-property relationship. At the application level, they obtain an overview of the structure, chemical and physicochemical properties, synthesis and use of selected groups of materials, eg inorganic and organic semiconductors, ionically conductive compounds, inorganic nanomaterials, zeolites.
Thanks to the advanced theoretical basis, the student will be able to critically evaluate the properties of individual types of solids and find the relationship between the structure and their physical properties. At the same time, he acquire a basic orientation in the technology of production and the use of individual materials.
