Module Number: 14309
Module Title:Modern Concepts of Materials Design
  Moderne Konzepte der Materialentwicklung
Department: Faculty 2 - Environment and Natural Sciences
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Klepel, Olaf
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:

Upon completion of the module, students will be familiar with various techniques for the chemical preparation and characterisation of materials and their precursors. This includes the safe use of various glassware and laboratory equipment, the assembly of chemical apparatus, and the safe handling of hazardous substances in accordance with applicable legislation. In addition, students will be introduced to current topics in chemical materials research. Through active engagement in discussions, students acquire personal skills relevant to their degree programme. They are able to work on and discuss basic questions relating to materials chemistry in small student groups or research groups.

Contents:
  • Experimental design, record-keeping, handling of chemicals and hazardous substances
  • Setting up apparatus for chemical material synthesis
  • Preparation of materials in the field of chemical material synthesis
  • Characterisation of synthesised materials and discussion of the results
Recommended Prerequisites:none
Mandatory Prerequisites:none
Forms of Teaching and Proportion:
  • Lecture / 1 Hours per Week per Semester
  • Laboratory training / 4 Hours per Week per Semester
  • Self organised studies / 105 Hours
Teaching Materials and Literature:Scientific literature on the research topics of the Institute's working groups
Module Examination:Continuous Assessment (MCA)
Assessment Mode for Module Examination:

1. Conducting chemical experiments (6-9), including the associated reports; marked (70%)

2. Colloquium consisting of a presentation (15 mins) and a discussion (10 mins); marked (30%)

 

Evaluation of Module Examination:Performance Verification – graded
Limited Number of Participants:20
Part of the Study Programme:
  • Master (research-oriented) / Chemistry: Materials, Engineering and Sustainability / PO 2025
Remarks:

Students perform the practical course either within a working group of the Institute of Materials Chemistry of BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg or conduct experiments in a teaching lab, based on their prior knowledge and educational background. In the practical course, they either focus on fundamental laboratory experiments to learn general and specific laboratory techniques, or undertake simple research tasks in the field of materials chemistry.

This module is a prerequisite for module 14777 ”Advanced Organic and Polymer Synthesis”
