| Aim: The aim of the course is to introduce theoretically and experimentally the currently vital topic of nanochemistry. The course is also aimed at illustrating the interdisciplinary character of the nano science. After passing the course the student is expected having gained the following competences:
|
||||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Inorganic chemistry Physical chemistry, Preparative organic chemistry Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
||||
| Organisation: The course consists of lectures and laboratory exercises. |
||||
| Course contents: Nanochemistry is located at the interface between organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry and all these areas will therefore be touched upon in lectures and practical exercises. The lectures deal with the synthesis, functionalisation and characterisation of metal or metal oxide nanoparticles. Physical properties of nano materials, such as magnetic, optical and semiconducting, and the potential applications of such properties in bio-medicine and sensor science. Quantum chemical modelling of nano systems and important methods for physical characterisation. The laboratory course is carried out in project form and includes the synthesis and characterisation of different types of nanoparticles. Examples of characterisation techniques to be used are UV-Vis, IR, XRD, TEM, and NMR. The projects are presented orally and in writing in the end of the course. |
