Structure of materials
Summary
Introduction to materials structure including crystallography, the structure of amorphous materials such as glasses, polymers and biomaterials as well as the basics of characterization techniques.
Content
This course gives an introduction to materials structure with a first part on crystallography, followed by the study of the structure of amorphous materials such as glasses, polymers and biomaterials. We will also discuss the basics of characterization techniques for crystalline and amorphous structures, in particular diffraction and scattering techniques.
- Crystallography
- Glasses and liquid crystal
