Materials Synthesis and Processing

Catalog description

Materials form the basis of most modern technologies, whether referring to energy, data processing, medical/health or consumer product application. While materials properties are central to the application, the techniques used for processing functional materials into films, crystals or bulk form, with carefully tailored properties, is no less important and will form the basis of the class. Additionally, the course will expose students to current materials processing/application research thrusts at Duke.
