Cilji in kompetence:

Objectives and competences:

Študentje se seznanijo s kompleksnimi pojavi in novimi materiali, ki jih omogočajo kombinacije raznovrstnih nanodelcev in mehkih materialov. Spoznajo ključne mehanizme, ki omogočajo razvoj nanokompozitov, osnovanih na mehki snovi.

Students get acquainted with complex phenomena and new materials enabled via interactions between diverse nanoparticles and soft materials. They understand basic mechanisms giving rise to diverse soft material - based nanocomposites.

Predvideni študijski rezultati:

Intendeded learning outcomes:

Študenti spoznajo ključne značilnosti mehkih snovi in ustrezne osnovne teoretičnega modeliranja. Spoznajo vrsto mehanizmov, ki lahko omogočijo učinkovite sistemske makroskopske strukturne transformacije ali nove materialne lastnosti preko interakcij med nanodelci in mehko snovjo in sposobnost uporabe v svojem raziskovalnem delu.

Predmet pripravlja študente za uporabo znanja s področja mehke snovi in mehkih nanokompozitov.

Students gain understanding of key properties of soft materials and corresponding theoretical modelling. They get familiar with several mechanisms which have potential to efficiently drive macroscopic changes in effective materials via interactions between specific nanoparticles and soft matrices.

This course prepares students to apply knowledge of soft matter and soft nanocomposites.
