| Contents |
1) knowledge of the structures of organic and inorganic molecules most used in the field of nano-devices; 2) knowledge of the main synthesis methodologies for their preparation; 3) knowledge of the structure-property relationships and the techniques for the characterization; 4) understanding the most recent applications and functioning of different devices. |
| Reference texts |
Recordings and handouts with supplementary teaching materials provided by the instructor. |
| Educational objectives |
To implement knowledge of functional materials in view of their multiple properties (e.g., mechanical, chemical, physical), for the development of innovative engineering structures and infrastructures; to enable students to develop cross-disciplinary skills for selecting, designing, and integrating new materials into devices that are sustainable in terms of production process costs, energy consumption reduction, and portability. Finally, the student will acquire individual engineering "problem-solving" skills. Students will also have the opportunity to attend seminars led by experts from both academic and industrial backgrounds to explore the most relevant topics for effective technology transfer. |
| Teaching methods |
TEL-DE: The module is structured with face-to-face lessons supported by PDF presentations, PPT slides, videos, and teachings related to laboratory characterization techniques. The module will be balanced in terms of theoretical and experimental concepts provided to the student through a unique approach aimed at maximizing the effectiveness of the educational activity. In-person activities: In this part of the course – exclusively in-person, with no exceptions for synchronous/asynchronous online lessons – additional in-depth sessions will be provided on functional materials and characterization techniques, as well as integration into devices. |
| Learning verification modality |
