This course deals with the fundamentals and applications of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Size-dependent phenomena, ways and means of designing and synthesizing nanostructures, and cutting-edging applications will be presented in an integrated and interdisciplinary manner.
CH 362:Instrumental Analysis I - Spectroscopy and Chromatography
Theoretical and experimental approach to spectroscopy and chromatography. Includes ultraviolet, visible and infrared absorption by molecules, emission spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectroscopy and gas-liquid and high-performance chromatography.
Lectures, demonstrations, and laboratory experiments, selected from among the following topics, depending on student interest: vacuum technology; thin-film preparation; scanning electron microscopy; infrared spectroscopy and ellipsometry; electron spectroscopy; Auger, photoelectron, and LEED; ion spectroscopies; SIMS, IBS, and field emission; surface properties-area, roughness, and surface tension.
Physio-chemical aspects of polymers, molecular weight distributions, solution characterization and theories, polymer chain configuration, thermodynamics of polymer solutions, the amorphous state, and the crystalline state.
The course covers recent advances in macromolecular science, including polyelectrolytes and water-soluble polymers, synthetic and biological macromolecules at surfaces, self-assembly of synthetic and biological macromolecules, and polymers for biomedical applications.
Recent developments in polymer science will be discussed, e.g., physical measurements, polymer characterization, polymerization kinetics, and morphology. Topics will vary from year to year and specialists will participate.
