Università degli Studi di Roma "Tor Vergata"

LEARNING OUTCOMES
Knowledge to design the material properties starting from atomic and molecular structures. The main goal of this course is to to provide a comprehensive picture of the synthesis of inorganic and organic nanoparticles.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
Ability to design the properties of materials starting from the atomic and molecular structures;
Knowledge of advanced materials (polymeric, metallic, ceramic, composite and nanostructured) in terms of microstructure;
Knowledge and understanding of the most modern methods of organic and inorganic synthesis applied to nano-science;
Knowledge and understanding of the chemical and physical characteristics of the main materials.

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
Structure property correlations for materials.
Ability to select the most appropriate material for a specific application.
Ability to predict the degradation of a material in relation to the environment to which it is exposed.
Choice of the most suitable materials for the realization of a product in relation to its characteristics and the required application.

MAKING JUDGEMENTS
The ability to obtain and describe data resulting from experiments and analysis, in order to arrive at the formulation of an interpretative judgment on the results acquired;
The ability to collect and process technical and safety information, taking into account the chemical and physical properties of the material, including any specific risk.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS
The international environment in which the Master will take place will result in an increase in communication skills. Teaching includes oral exams (in English) and will train students to effectively support scientific discussions by improving their skills.

LEARNING SKILLS
This part of the training will be achieved through lectures supported by laboratory exercises. As part of the Master’s Degree program, the experimental laboratory activity is developed in order to provide a clear knowledge of implementation and application problems.Learning skills will be achieved throughout the course, with particular regard to the planned individual study and the activity carried out for the preparation of the final exam.
