Course Objectives

To give an introduction to materials, ceramics, polymers, and electronic materials in the context of a molecular level understanding and their application in various field

Learning Outcomes

After completion of this course students will able to

  • Understand the physical/chemical behaviors of materials.
  • Select materials, based on their properties and behaviors, for a given application.
  •  Understand how molecular interactions to the behavior of material give rise to microscopic properties.
