Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
Students will gain knowledge in the field of chemical analysis methods, with traditional and modern techniques of optical, laser and electron microscopy, basic methods of image processing and analysis, methods for determination of particle size and shape, porosity and distribution of pores in the material, methods of surface quality evaluation, and spectroscopic methods for identifying material components and non-destructive methods for displaying internal structure and material failure. Theoretical knowledge is complemented by examples of practical applications. Students will acquire practical skills with selected methods of analysis.
