Study programme competences / results |
This course introduces recent strategies for structuring hard materials (nanoparticles, nanocomposites and hierarchically porous monoliths) by complex fluids. Complex fluids that are typically considered: solutions of large molecules (eg polymers.) Or supramolecular structures (eg micelles..) In ordinary liquids, foams or emulsions. The aim of this course is to illustrate how complex physical concepts of fluid can be applied to the rational design of advanced materials. For each system, the emphasis will be on: structure / properties of the final solid materials; the structure and stability of the complex fluids. Some specific characterization techniques presented. |

To help achieve a sustained immediate environment and meet the objective of action number 5: "Healthy and sustainable environmental and social teaching and research" of the "Green Campus Ferrol Action Plan: The delivery of the documentary work carried out in this subject: - They will be requested in virtual format and/or computer support
- It will be done through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print them.
- If it is necessary to make them on paper:
- Plastics shall not be used
- Double-sided printing shall be carried out.
- Recycled paper will be used.
- Printing of drafts shall be avoided.
- A sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment must be made. - It will work to identify and change gender biases and attitudes, and influence the environment to change them and promote values of respect and equality. - Situations of discrimination should be identified and actions and measures proposed to correct them. |
