Summary |
---|
Within the framework of this subject, the students acquire knowledge and experience with common technical materials and basic types of nanomaterials. The study of the parameters of the materials will be aligned with the description of the experimental techniques used for their measurement and description. The application possibilities of both common materials and nanomaterials will also be explained. |
