Laboratory Technique and Materials Preparation

Lecturer:
 Dr.Wing Fong Chu
Type:
 Lectures + Experiments
Examination :  Written ECTS Credits: 4.0
Content:

The course gives an introduction to useful laboratory techniques, such as purification of materials and gases, production of medium- and high-temperature furnaces, uniaxial and isostatic pressing, ball milling, attritor milling, polishing, screen-priting, tape casting, etc. Important materials preparation methods, such as solid state reaction, glycin-nitrate-process, sol-gel process will be presented. The lecture is accompanied by practical training in the laboratory.
