Contenus de l'unité d'enseignement
The course structure is organized in 4 sections focusing on metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. Transversal themes such as manufacture/shaping techniques or mechanical properties are encountered in all sections, with more or less details.
Table of contents:
- Metallic materials : Mechanical properties of metals and alloys - Shaping techniques
- Other inorganic materials : Shaping of ceramics - Cement and floating glass - Mechanical properties of ceramics, concrete and glass
- Polymers : behavior in solution and at the solid state - Synthesis concepts for complex structures (living/controlled polymerization)
- Composites : organic/inorganic composite synthesis and properties
Acquis d'apprentissage (objectifs d'apprentissage) de l'unité d'enseignement
Metals and other inorganic materials:
- The students will master basic knowledge necessary to access more advanced textbooks or literature related to the different classes of materials.
- In addition to the usual "knowledge-based" objectives, the course aims at developping more general skills, such as analysis of graphics, problem solving, "self-learning" from extended sources (as opposed to course material summarized by the teacher),...
Polymer materials and composites :
- Mastering the basic concepts of controlled polymerizations allowing to suggest and discuss synthetic pathways for complex macromolecular structures (block copolymers).
- Mastering of the molecular mass determination techniques based on the understanding of the behavior of macromolecules in solution
- Understanding of the behavior of a polymer material at the solid state, in function of the temperature, exploitation of experimental data to select a material for a given application
- Understanding of the key concepts of composite fabrication and emerging properties
Savoirs et compétences prérequis
- Basic course in macromolecular chemistry, such as Prof. C. Jérôme's to 3rd year Bachelor students
- Basic knowledge of inorganic chemistry and crystallography
- English competencies: B2 (listening), B2-C1 (reading)
Activités d'apprentissage prévues et méthodes d'enseignement
During the 1st quadrimester
Section on polymers (Prof. Jerome) :
- lectures on general concepts
- exploitation of experimental data based on problems solving
- exploitation of the scientific literature in individual work on a specific topic
Combination of lectures, required reading and exercises/discussion questions.
During the 2nd quadrimester
During Q2, the chemistry students will act as consultants to provide scientific information about materials to HEC students enroled in the course MARK8002-1 "Marketing and Innovation".
AC Cadiat or C Gruslin (HEC) will explain the context during one of the lectures during Q1 ; the list of materials will be provided so that preliminary info gathering can be done during Q1.
Mode d'enseignement (présentiel, à distance, hybride)
Cours donné exclusivement en présentiel
Informations complémentaires:
Face-to-face (lectures, exercises)
+ Individual work (e.g. required reading at home before attending a class, some of the work related to the collaboration with HEC students )
Supports de cours, lectures obligatoires ou recommandées
Plate-forme(s) utilisée(s) pour les supports de cours :
- eCampus
Informations complémentaires:
copy of slides + required reading material
Modalités d'évaluation et critères
Examen(s) en session
Toutes sessions confondues
- En présentiel
évaluation écrite ( questions ouvertes )
Travail à rendre - rapport
Informations complémentaires:
Grading:
- 40% for metals/inorganics section (exam during January session)
- 40% for polymers/composites section (exam during January session, same half-day)
- 20% for "consulting" HEC project (written reports + involvement)
Stage(s)
Remarques organisationnelles et modifications principales apportées au cours
Classes will take place on Monday mornings (Prof. Vertruyen) and Tuesday afternoons (Prof. Jérôme) during the 1st quadrimester.
The collaborative project with HEC during Q2 will involve one in-person meeting with your group at HEC ; later interactions can take place by email or Teams or similar media.
