Lectures: 1. Introduction to materials (brief history, basic dividing of materials) 2. Relation between structure and properties of materials (electron structure, chemical bond in solid state matter and crystal structure, real crystal, non-crystalline matters, microstructure, nanomaterials) 3. Preparation of materials (heterogeneous systems, phase transitions, nucleation, gas phase deposition, allotropic transformation) 4. Ceramics (raw materials, technology, applications - cutting ceramics, automotive, metallurgy, engineering, textile industry, energetics and aerospace, bio-ceramics, electronics, refractory materials) 5. Glass (raw materials, technology, applications - flat (float), packaging and crystal glass, optical glass, temperature and chemically resistant glass, bio-glass, chalcogenide, halogenide and another special glass, glass ceramics) 6. Inorganic cements 7. Polymers (dividing of polymers, basic production technology, phase state of polymeric materials, mechanical properties and behavior at increased temperature, other properties) 8. Conductors, semiconductors, dielectrics, superconductors, magnetics (properties, behavior, application) 9. Carbon, optical waveguides and liquid crystals (carbon allotropes, carbon nano-foam, fullerene and carbon nanotubes, principle of optical waveguides, structure and phases of liquid crystals, applications) 10. Metals (structure, properties and manifacturing of metallic materials, iron and its alloys, non-ferrous metals) 11. Composite materials (definition and dividing of composites, matrices and reinforcement) 12. Degradation of materials (degradation and corrosion caused by mechanical, heat, chemical and radiation attack) Practice: Students shall familiarize themselves with basic materials and their properties via real examples. The problematics will be discussed in light of given material type and its specifics (glass, ceramics and crystals, metals, polymers, composites), and in light of key properties and their evaluation (optical, electrical, magnetic, mechanical, heat and chemical). The practice will be done via presentation of real materials and their key properties and excursions at materials research departments at TUL. Computation exercises are not included.

The class introduces students into materials problematics regarding to the basic relations between structure, properties and applications including common trends of their preparation and production. A multidisciplinary approach is accented which comprises findings from many fields (chemistry, physics, mechanics, optics, electronics, crystallography, mineralogy). The content concludes the basic findings about inorganic (ceramics, glass, inorganic cements, metals, alloys), organic (polymers), hybrid and composite materials. The objective is to open up a material-engineering knowledge to students, which will be intensified via the other specialized lectures and classes.
