Description

This course gives a basic introduction to the electronic structure of atoms and molecules as well as the origin of inter-molecular forces and their implications for the strength of materials. We consider the microstructure of alloys and their phase transitions, and survey other modern materials such as composites, ceramics and polymers. Fundamental principles of corrosion and energetic materials are also covered.
