Learning Outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide information on interfaces and interface phenomena in nanoscience, and the concepts and theories that describe them. In addition to traditional lectures, all students will make at least one oral presentation in the course, which the other participants will comment on. In addition, the course includes calculation exercises. As home exercises, the students will practice information retrieval and how to condense scientific articles into a short report.
Content
| Content | Core content | Complementary knowledge | Specialist knowledge |
| 1. | The surface chemistry course focuses on understanding and utilizing the chemical and physical properties of surfaces and interfaces in nanotechnology and life sciences. The interfaces that will be considered are gas-liquid, liquid-liquid (fluids), gas-solid and liquid-solid (non-fluids) and biological interfaces. | ||
| 2. | The course introduces basic concepts and definitions of surface chemistry. Qualitative descriptions will be expanded by mathematical models. | ||
| 3. | The thermodynamic properties of the interfaces and adsorption kinetics will be dealt with in more depth than in the Physical Chemistry courses. In addition, we will look at various methods of measuring surface tension and adsorption, and e.g. how electrolytes and non-electrolytes and impurities affect the surface tension of the solutions. | ||
| 4. | Various methods for analyzing surfaces are presented and discussed. |
