Introduction to materials science

The course is divided into two parts, where the emphasis is on basic types of materials (metals, semiconductors, composites, ceramics, polymers) and their fundamental properties. In the first part of the course provides an overview of the structure and microstructure, physical, mechanical, electrical and other properties of materials. In the second part is devoted to the use of different types of materials in the industry and new technologies. Emphasis will be placed on the use of these materials in the areas of research and development of nanomaterials and their practical use.
