From entity to solid

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

In a second stage, in a flipped classroom setting, students will learn about different materials through 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 completed the following courses:

L1 PCSI or equivalent level

Continuous assessment with a final exam

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

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