MSCI 325 - Materials Chemistry

In this course, students will learn about the fundamentals of materials chemistry as we cover topics ranging from crystalline structures, phase equilibria, electrochemistry, and nanosynthesis. This course will also introduce students to techniques and instrumentation used in characterizing materials and help them develop a working knowledge of chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. In-class experiments or instrument demonstrations may be included. Specific current applications of materials chemistry will also be explored.
