| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This is the second half of a two-semester course Fundamentals of Materials. The purpose of this course is to give a concise but comprehensive introduction covering all major classes of materials to the students majored in physical engineering. The characteristics of all main classes of materials, metals, polymers and ceramics, as well as their physical properties, are explained with reference to real-world examples. In the second semester we will mainly focus on the structure and physical properties of ceramics, polymers and composites. Electrical, thermal, magnetic and optical properties of materials will also be introduced. | ||
| Course Goals | By taking this course the students are expected to have a broad understanding of fundamental aspects regarding to the processing and properties of ceramics, polymers and composites. | ||
