Course group - TB1-MAM
This course is for students wishing to acquire broad basic knowledge of characterization techniques for compact and pulverulent solids. It will allow them to define analysis needs to ensure quality and correct property use of “products”, related to the fields of materials science and process engineering.
The course is composed of 3 complementary units :
Unit 1: "Rdiation-matter interaction" (13h30) reviews the physical principles used in several methods of matter characterization, which are detailed in Units 2 and 3.
Unit 2: “Morphological and structural analyses” (13h30) will describe the principle methods of characterising the structure of matter (X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy ..) by combining a physics approach (principles) with an instrumental approach (equipment, performance, cost).
Unit 3: “Physico-chemical analyses” (12h), with an approach similar to Unit 2, will describe the analysis methods for powders and materials to provide a characterisation of their functional properties (elementary surface analysis, specific surfaces, porosity, thermal stability ..).
This course, offering the acquisition of technological bases for leadin projects in the field of powders and compact solids, can constitute a useful support for field related Majors (Process engineering, Materials Science, Bio-medical and Healthcare engineering).
