General chemistry

This module will enable students to broaden their physical chemistry skills and knowledge in the field of materials science. The principles of synthesis (polymerization, sol gel, etc ...) and the characterization of the materials will also be treated.

- Theoretical aspect of the chemical reactions involved.

- Materials science and physical and chemical characterization: highlight on the structure-property relationship.

- Global vision of the potential of materials: From a domestic utility to an application in high technology.

Theoretical aspects:

Structure of solids and defects

Major families of materials will be studied: organic polymers, inorganic and ceramic materials, hybrid organic-inorganic materials and metals.

Organic polymers: polycondensation, chain polymerization. Characterization. Mechanical properties. From oil to polymer

Inorganic materials, ceramics, glasses: Chemical synthesis, physical and chemical synthesis. The sol gel process.

Inorganic-organic hybrid materials. Synthesis. Characterization. Structure-property relationship. Fuel cells.

Metals via materials science

Practical teachings:

Synthesis of an adhesive

Synthesis of an organic polymer

Synthesis of a functionalized hybrid material

Handout with holes
