CHEM-1600

Chemistry of Materials II

Introduction to real (defect-containing) solids and equilibria and kinetic processes in solids. Macroscopic properties, such as mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, are dominated by structure and bonding, and the course continuously emphasizes this connection. Each of the materials classes (metals, ceramics, semiconductors, and polymers) is discussed in detail in this context. (Cross listed as ENGR-1600. Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and Introduction to Materials). Prerequisite: CHEM-1500 or CHEM-1100, although the former is recommended. Fall and spring terms annually.

4 credit hours
