From Entity to Solid

The first part of the module will consist of a general introduction to materials: a review of the states of matter, chemical bonds, and the physical quantities associated with material properties (resistivity, transmittance, viscosity, Young’s modulus, etc.). The concepts covered will be illustrated using polymeric and inorganic materials.

In the next phase, in a flipped classroom setting, students will explore various materials through practical applications (varnish, paint, energy recovery, pollution control, etc.)

Highlight the relationships between the structure of matter and the properties of materials through their use in everyday applications.

Students enrolled in this module must have previously taken the following courses:
