Learning outcomes
To obtain basic knowledge of thermodynamic classification and features of ordinary and martensitic phase transitions, their influence on composite structure formation. To be able to theoretically predict and experimentally investigate structure and phase evolution of different types. To be able to estimate physical and mechanical properties of composite materials.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Successful learning of the following courses: “Molecular Physics and Thermodynamics”, “Electrics and Magnetism”, “Solid State Physics”, “The solid body crystalline structure”, “Mechanical properties of the solid body”.
Course content
The course “Physics of nanocomposite materials” improves the knowledge in the field of Condensed State Physics with the focus on the approaches of creation and investigation of compound materials with the essential content of nanostructured objects and the influence of such objects on the material properties. The discipline purpose is to teach students about the peculiarities of physics, physico-chemical, and mechanical characteristics of nanostructured hetero-phase materials based on metals, ceramics and polymers; the basic approaches to their manufacturing and testing; the general fields of their applications. Teaching methods: lectures. Assessment methods: mid-semester tests, final test.
