CHE 1018 - INTRODUCTION TO SURFACE ENGINEERING

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Surface and interface engineering is critical to many important applications, e.g., coating, composite, biomedical device and membrane. With the fast growth of nanotechnology, understanding the surface properties becomes even more important since nano-sized materials, e.g., graphene, have no bulk phase but surfaces. This course combines elements of physical chemistry and materials of surface and interface in order to serve as the introduction to the surface engineering. The course spans from surface tension, capillary, superwettability to lubrication as well as 2D materials, allowing a comprehensive view to both classic surface science and cutting-edge surface technology. By the end of this class, students will understand both the fundamental principles of surface science and engineering approaches on tailor a given solid surface.
