Overview

The course deals with two important categories of advanced materials, namely functional materials and composite materials. The functional materials part will focus on the following topics: Basic principles of semiconductors and their fabrication processes for electronic devices (single crystal growth, implantation, lithography, etching and thin film growth), sources of failure; … For more content click the Read More button below. The composite materials part will focus on the following topics: Properties of fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites, metal matrix composites, ceramic matrix composites; fibres, matrices and fibre/matrix interface; mechanical behaviour of fibre reinforced composites; fracture and durability of composites; composite structure and design; composite manufacture and recycling.

The course deals with two important categories of advanced materials, namely functional materials and composite materials.

The functional materials part will focus on the following topics: Basic principles of semiconductors and their fabrication processes for electronic devices (single crystal growth, implantation, lithography, etching and thin film growth), sources of failure; design and characteristics of functional materials for supercapacitors and batteries, biosensors, metal-organic frameworks, design of nanostructured functional materials in different configuration (3D,2D, and 1D) and for different applications (supercapacitors, batteries, fuel cells, sensors, catalysts, photovoltaics)

The composite materials part will focus on the following topics: Properties of fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites, metal matrix composites, ceramic matrix composites; fibres, matrices and fibre/matrix interface; mechanical behaviour of fibre reinforced composites; fracture and durability of composites; composite structure and design; composite manufacture and recycling.
