Properties and Phenomena of Materials (5 cr)

Objective

Students will learn to know the key properties of materials in different forms and will be able to apply this knowledge and phase equilibrium management in the search for new material solutions and in the responsible use of already known materials. This knowledge will enable them to make and develop choices of raw materials that will enable them to produce in an environmentally friendly way and to ensure that the resulting products comply with the values of the green transition.
