Course detail

Chemistry of Advanced Ceramics Materials

FCH-MCO_CKMAcad. year: 2011/2012

Course is divided into three parts. First is focused to chemical synthesis of inorganic non-metalic particles, particularly to sol-gel methods, solvo-thermal synthesis, polycondenzation complex synthesis, precipitation synthesis and synthesis in reversion micels. This part included theoretical and experimental backround of modern particles synthesis in micro-wave and ultra-sond field and synthesis in gas phase. Second part bring to students information about basic structure types of advanced inorganic materials and utilizing chemistry of solid phase is discussed relationships between structure these materials and its physical, chemical and biological properties. Final part of course is concerned to important types of advanced ceamics materials and its applications in medicine, electrochemistry, reaction catalysis, power-industry and construction o mechanical, thermal and chemical machines and technologies.
