CHEM-C3410 - Nanomaterials, Lecture, 2.9.2024-11.12.2024
Topic outline
-
This is an introductory course for nanomaterials and the topics include for example stability, synthesis of nanomaterials, and
material properties at nanoscale.
The course includes also a compulsory Group Work in which
students develop a game around a topic "Sustainability of Nanomaterial X".
Teaching language and language of study attainments are both English.
In Autumn 2024, teaching will be in Face-to-Face mode.STUDY PERIOD I: Lectures and Exercises
