CHEM 378
Fall 2011 not offered
|
This course will introduce students to materials chemistry and the fast-developing field of nanoscience. Topics covered will include polymers and dendrimers; fullerenes and carbon nanotubes; metal-organic frameworks; molecular "machines"; semiconductors and quantum dots; molecular self-assembly; probe microscopy; mechanically interlocked molecules; and nanoscale biosensors. The level of the course is aimed at graduate and advanced undergraduate students majoring in the sciences. The course material combines organic and inorganic chemistry with many concepts in physics. |
