CH 3660 - Surface Properties of Materials

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This is a materials’ chemistry course appropriate for junior level students from all engineering majors. The course includes basic description of physics and chemistry of surfaces and their relation to surface properties of materials. The emphasis of the course is to provide students with knowledge on several important modern applications of surface chemistry: surface chemical reactions (catalytic converters and fuel cells), thin films and their application as lubricants, coatings and novel electronic materials, improving friction and wear properties of surfaces through chemical modification. A substantial part of the course is devoted to surface nanotechnology - an introduction to the design, manufacturing and characterization of various nanomaterials and nanodevices on surfaces and their potential applications. (prereq: CH 200 , CH 200A , CH 200B  or PH 2030 )
