General description Nesta materia darase unha introdución á preparación de nanomateriais, tanto inorgánicos como orgánicos onde se incidirá sobre os factores clave no control e morfoloxía dos nanomateriais. Tamén se estudará a relación entre a morfoloxía e tamaño e as súas propiedades. Finalmente realizarase unha introdución as principais aplicacións do nanometeriais.
Contingency plan 1. Modificacións nos contidos
En principio os contidos mantéñense na súa totalidade. No caso de ser necesario por causas de forza maior, poderá optarse por unha presentación máis xeral dos mesmos, que en calquera caso cubrirá todos os aspectos máis relevantes da materia.

2. Metodoloxías
*Metodoloxías docentes que se manteñen
As metodoloxías manteranse pero pasarán a realizarse en “modalidade en liña”, e dicir, empregando as ferramentas das TIC que ten a disposición a institución. No caso de que parte do alumnado non puidese conectarse e seguir as aulas en tempo real, utilizaranse medios asicrónicos (correo electrónico, gravacións das sesión expositivas, titoriáis máis personalizadas...).

*Metodoloxías docentes que se modifican
As probas obxectivas serán probas en liña que se realizarán mediante Moodle ou ferramentas equivalentes, facendo un seguimento das mesmas a través da plataforma Teams.

3. Mecanismos de atención personalizada ao alumnado
O alumnado será titorizado mediante a plataforma Teams ou mediante o correo electrónico corporativo.

4. Modificacións na avaliación
Se todo o alumnado puidese continuar coa docencia en liña sincrónica sen dificultade, avaliarase do mesmo xeito que na docencia presencial en aula.
O alumnado que non poda seguir as actividades en liña sincrónicas será avaliado polas actividades equivalentes realizadas de maneira asincrónica.

*Observacións de avaliación:
Non hai.

5. Modificacións da bibliografía ou webgrafía
Non hai modificacións na bibliografía/webgrafía

Contents
Topic Sub-topic
Theme 1.Introduction and historical perspective on advanced materials This first topic will be a historical introduction on the development of nanomaterials. A classification of the materials will be established, as well as a brief description of the fields of activity of the different nanomaterials.
Theme 2. Strategies in the search for new materials This topic will address the different strategies in the synthesis of nanomaterials, with special attention to those that allow us a control in the structure and composition.
Theme 3. Nanochemistry and nanomaterials This topic will introduce the nanomaterials and the main methods of synthesis
Theme 4. Inorganic nanomaterials: metal, semiconductors, magnetic oxides This topic will introduce the main methods of synthesis of nanomaterials with special emphasis on metallic, semiconductors, and magnetic oxides.
Theme 5. Organic Nanomaterials: Carbon Nanotubes, Graphene, Polymeric Materials In this topic we will introduce the main methods of synthesis of nanomaterials with special emphasis on carbon nanotubes, graphene and polymeric materials.
Theme 6. Surface modification and hybrid materials This topic will introduce the main methods of surface modification of nanomaterials. Different hybrid materials will also be introduced.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Seminar Seminars carried out with their own teaching staff, or with invited professionals from the business sector, administration or other universities. Interactive sessions related to different subjects with discussions and exchange of opinions with students
Supervised projects Work in small groups that will have the purpose of studying a topic, a case, etc. Through the discussion among the members of the group.
Mixed objective/subjective test Proof that will be made in the calendar agreed by the Faculty Board. Its objective is to contribute to the evaluation of the knowledge and skills acquired by the students and the ability to relate to this and to obtain an overview of the subject.
Guest lecture / keynote speech In the master session the contents of the corresponding topics will be introduced, highlighting their most important aspects and stopping particularly in the fundamental concepts and / or more difficult to understand for the students.

Assessment comments

General considerations:

-It is very important to attend all classes.

-It is essential to consult the bibliography and try to complete with
advanced aspects the most fundamental concepts that are explained in the
class.

-The evaluation of this subject will be done through continuous assessment and the completion of a final exam.

-The continuous evaluation will have a weight of 35% in the grade of the subject. The rest will be assigned to the final exam result.

Recommendations for evaluation

The
student should review the theoretical concepts introduced in the
different topics using the support material provided by the teaching
staff and the bibliography recommended for each topic. The
degree of accuracy in the resolution of the proposed exercises provides
a measure of the student's preparation to face the final exam of the
subject. Those
students who find important difficulties in working the proposed
activities should consult the teacher, in order that the teacher can
analyze the problem and help solve those difficulties.
