Unit Code: CHM704

Unit Name: Chemistry of Materials and Polymers

Description: Materials chemistry is an area of active scientific research and is an area with many practical applications. This course is intended to impart knowledge of select group of materials particularly, ceramics, glass, cements and polymers. Topics include chemical composition, structure and their relationship to their properties and performance, manufacturing processes, uses and economic impacts. The solid state chemistry of this course would be a significant departure from conventional solution chemistry and students would learn about formation of new solids at high temperatures. Lab component of this course would include synthesis of new materials and their characterization using different physico-chemical methods.
