Summary
Subject introduces students to the basic knowledge of material science and knowledge of material types used in present-day industries including new technologies. First part of lessons is focused on structure, structure defects, microstructure, diffusion process and phase transformations in materials. Various physical, mechanical, electrical and other properties will be discussed. In following part of lessons students will be able apply the knowledge on basic types of materials (metallic, semiconductive, composite, ceramic,amorphous, polymeric, nanostructured and others)in connection with their properties and using.
