Objectives of the Course Comprehending the concepts of fundamental chemical and physical phenomena with regards to molecular engineering and exploring their historical evaluation in the 20th century.
Interpreting the key chemical and physical concepts implemented in the design of soft nanomaterials.
Investigating and understanding the applications of soft nanomaterials in nanotechnology, optoelectronics, air/water cleaning, and renewable/clean energy solutions.
Criticizing the existing examples of soft nanomaterials and discussing plausible future directions to address global issues.
Course Content Course focuses on the chemical and physical fundamentals of molecular engineering and soft nanomaterials with a strong emphasis on applications in nanotechnology, optoelectronics, air/water cleaning, and renewable/clean energy solutions. The molecular engineering approach implemented in this course does not only involve the chemical and physical fundamentals but also provides the essential skills to design next-generation soft-nanomaterials for future applications. In the special topic module, students research a special topic which includes a nature-, bio-, or technology-inspired novel material design that offers a solution for a chosen global problem.
