Technology and design of new materials 1100-3INZ15

Elements of: supramolecular chemistry, glasses and ceramic materials, metallic and semiconducting materials. Organic technology – basic ideas about polymer science. Ideas about physics and chemistry of carbon nanostructures (fullerens, graphene, nanotubes), quantum dots, thin inorganic layers (semiconducting, metallic), structured euthectics, inorganic naotubes and nanorods for electronics, molecular structures that mimic biological materials (sensors, motors, rotors, switches etc), nanomagnets (magnetic nanoparticles, molecular magnets, one dimensional magnets); materials for photonics (organic light emitting diode- OLED, organic field-effect transistor – OFET, materials for non-linear optics and photonic crystals), metamaterials (materials with negative refractive index and gigantic dielectric constant and other materials with unusual electromagnetic properties); hybrid materials e.g materials that link different functionalities for example mutiferroics, electrically tunable photonic crystals etc); transparent ceramic, nano-liquids, liquid crystals, ionic liquids and ionic liquid crystals
