To teach students the application of materials chemistry through the materials properties and characterization, detailing how the crystalline and molecular structure of materials can be related to electronic, optical, thermal, and mechanical properties.

1. This course gives students an overview of the basic principles of materials chemistry and its applications in different fields.
2. The underlying motivation for new material discoveries and the impact of social needs on the science policies of countries will be explained.
3. The linkages between structure, bonding and property as well as case application areas for some technologically important material systems (inorganic, organic, carbon and composite materials) will be described.
4. The structure-property relationship will be examined in materials that are composed of the same element but show very different properties physically, mechanically and thermally.
5. Gain the ability to independently integrate basic concepts related to the synthesis, characterization and chemistry of materials.
6. A comparison of ethical perspectives on access to natural resources and processed materials, processing methods and the fate of materials after use is provided.
7. Demonstrate awareness of the safety responsibilities involved in working with chemicals and hazardous substances.
