![]() | Aims: To provide a description of the chemistry of some modern materials and how technological applications drive development of new materials. Learning Outcomes: After studying this unit the student should be able to: * critically analyse methods for synthesising nanoparticles and properties and applications of nanophase materials * critically analyse templating methods for hierarchical structures and properties and applications of these materials * explain in detail how the structure of polymeric materials such as block copolymers influences their properties * critically evaluate methods for the preparation of functional polymers and how their properties may be controlled * critically assess recent literature examples of functional materials * suggest routes to designed materials possessing required properties for a particular application. Skills: Data gathering (T, F), data analysis (T, F, A), critical thinking (T, F, A), problem solving (F, A). Content: Nanoparticle synthesis, applications of nanoparticles, templated hierarchical structures, applications of hierarchical materials. , Preparative and analytical methods for copolymers with varying structures, control of material properties by structural variation with examples (e.g. delivery, photoresists). |
