| Abstract | Basic concepts of metal physics, ceramics, polymers and their technology. | ||||
| Objective | Based on the lecture 'Introduction to Materials Science' this lecture aims to give a detailed understanding of important aspects of materials science, with special emphasis on metallic and ceramic materials. | ||||
| Content | Thermodynamics and phase diagrams, crystal interfaces and microstructure, diffusional transformations in solids, and diffusionless transformations will be presented for metallic alloys. The basics of the ionic and covalent chemical bonds, the bond energy, the crystalline structure, four important structural ceramics, and the properties of glasses and glass ceramics will be presented for ceramic materials. | ||||

| 327-1221-00L | Biological and Bio-Inspired Materials  Students that already enroled in this course during their Bachelor's degree studies are not allowed to enrol again in their Master's. | 4 credits | 3G | A. R. Studart, I. Burgert, E. Cabane, R. Nicolosi Libanori | |
| Abstract | The aim of this course is to impart knowledge on the underlying principles governing the design of biological materials and on strategies to fabricate synthetic model systems whose structural organization resembles those of natural materials. | ||||
| Objective | The course first offers a comprehensive introduction to evolutive aspects of materials design in nature and a general overview about the most common biopolymers and biominerals found in biological materials. Next, current approaches to fabricate bio-inspired materials are presented, followed by a detailed evaluation of their structure-property relationships with focus on mechanical, optical, surface and adaptive properties. | ||||
| Content | This course is structured in 3 blocks: Block (I): Fundamentals of engineering in biological materials - Biological engineering principles - Basic building blocks found in biological materials Block (II): Replicating biological design principles in synthetic materials - Biological and bio-inspired materials: polymer-reinforced and ceramic-toughened composites - Lightweight biological and bio-inspired materials - Functional biological and bio-inspired materials: surfaces, self-healing and adaptive materials Block (III): Bio-inspired design and systems - Mechanical actuation - plant systems - Bio-inspiration in the built environment | ||||
| Lecture notes | Copies of the slides will be made available for download before each lecture. | ||||
| Literature | The course is mainly based on the books listed below. Additional references will be provided during the lectures. 1. M. A. Meyers and P-Y.
