MatSci 192/202 will introduce students to the fundamental chemical principles underlying materials structure, synthesis, properties, and applications. Beginning from basic atomic and molecular bonding, students will learn how electronic structure impacts chemical properties and processing. Topics for the course include basic synthesis and reaction chemistry, materials characterization, small molecules in solids, polymers, glasses and ceramics, metals, semiconductors, superconductors, and nanomaterials. Throughout the class, emphasis will be given to the applications of these materials in fields including electronics, photonics, biomedicine and renewable energy.
