Lessons : 7 h TD : 0 h TP : 0 h Project : 0 h Total : 7 h
Co-ordinator : Jean-Michel Rueff
Prerequisite
None
Course Objectives
All fields of industry and research are concerned by nanomaterials.
The aim of the course is to give the future engineer the necessary knowledge to approach the study of nanomaterials and their many fields of application with the critical and innovative spirit that this class of materials requires.
For this, the course will retrace the history of their discovery and the tools developed to study them.
Syllabus
