Learning outcomes
|
Student gains a detailed knowledge about methods of study and characterization of nanomaterials. The intended nanomaterials are: nanoparticles, nanofibres, nano-surfaces and nanopores. The individual scopes of the measurement techniques are focused on standard analytical methods for nanomaterial analysis in the first part while focused on other methods with respect to the research topics studied at Technical University of Liberec. Students prepare a nanomaterial at the initial seminar, which will be then characterized during the other seminars. Moreover the laboratories with top-class devices will be visited.
