From entity to solid

The first part of the module will present a general overview of materials: states of matter - chemical bonds - quantities associated with material properties (resistivity, transmittance, viscosity, Young's modulus, etc.). The concepts covered will be illustrated using polymeric and inorganic materials.

Then, in a flipped classroom, students will discover different materials through applications (varnish, paint, energy recovery, pollution control, etc.).

Demonstrate the relationship 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:

L1 PCSI or equivalent

Continuous assessment with a final exam

General information on materials, inorganic materials, polymer materials, composites.

Piezoelectricity, photocatalysis, magnetism, photovoltaics, adhesion, etc.
