Temary
1- Chimie douceAn overview of the applications of an environmentally friendly chemistry like sol-gel synthesis to obtain new materials.
2- Crystal chemistry
An introduction to crystallography focusing on crystalline symmetry, lattice and unit cells, structure of solids and types of crystals as well as an introduction to X-Ray diffraction.
3- Nanostructured Materials
Studies of materials at the nanometer scale. Correlation between particle size and material properties. "Bottom-up" approach to designing nanostructured systems for variety applications.
