CHT239 Advanced Materials

• Demonstrate awareness of different methods for synthesising advanced materials.
• Describe different techniques that can be for advanced materials characterization
• Explain the influence of the structure on the properties of different advanced materials.
• Understand the benefits and limitations of molecular modelling in probing material properties.
• Demonstrate some appreciation for the important factors in formulating a new colloidal product and understand the functional limitations on materials used for drug delivery compared to alternative applications.

Acting (Performance in this area will enable students to achieve more than a basic pass):
• Identify the key methods for the characterisation of advanced, including their applicability and limitations.
• Understand and predict key properties of materials based on characterisation data.
• Predict the effect different external factors will have on the structure and properties of advanced materials.

Being (Performance in this area will enable students to achieve more than a basic pass):

• Link synthetic methods for advanced materials with their properties and activity for different processes.
• Link desired observables with appropriate simulation methods.
• Design characterization plans to determine key performance indicators for advanced materials.
