Goals Today, high-strength polymers are replacing steel in the industrial and technological field. Bulletproof glasses, fireproof plastics, superabsorbents with high liquid absorption, optical instruments and artificial leathers are products of the science of materials. The aim of the Material Science course is to provide all the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills necessary for the design and application of traditional and high-tech materials.
Course Content Atomic structure of my materials, bonds between atoms, bond energy, ionic Bond, Covalent Bond, metallic Bond, crystal structure, Amorphous Structure, phase equilibrium diagrams, mechanical properties of materials, Metals, ferrous materials, non-ferrous materials, Ceramics, Polymers, composite materials, magnetic and thermal properties of materials, corrosion.
Learning Outcomes - To understand the subject of chemical bonds
- To understand the basic properties of metallic, glass, ceramic, plastic, wood and rubber materials used in daily life
