Introduction Previously known as Chemical Physics Interdisciplinary Program, the Materials Science Graduate Program (MSP) at Kent State University offers a unique education focusing on physics and chemistry of soft condensed matter. Leading to Master of Science and/or Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The program emphasizes both fundamental and applied interdisciplinary training at the interface between soft matters and advanced bio-, nano- and mesostructured materials. The graduate program offers students the opportunity to conduct research under the guidance of members of the Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute (AMLCI) of Kent State University. Previously, known as the Liquid Crystal Institute (LCI), founded in 1965 by Glenn H. Brown, the Institute was the world’s first research center specializing in the basic and applied science of liquid crystals. One goal of such research is to discover novel liquid crystal materials and develop techniques to control their phase behavior, microstructure and electro-optic response, for instance to advance the state-of-the-art in information display. New and emerging application areas include advanced photonics, sensors, biomaterials, bio- and medical applications, and smart/responsive materials. The Materials Science Graduate Program is designed for students from a broad range of undergraduate majors including physics, chemistry (synthetic and physical), materials science, chemical engineering, polymer engineering, and biology. The curriculum includes courses ranging from theory and modeling of liquid crystals to experimental physics, materials synthesis and characterization, to nano- and biomaterial applications of soft condensed matter. An important aspect of the curriculum is flexibility in course work and evolving course content that keeps pace with new research challenges and societal needs. Core courses are accessible to a multidisciplinary audience, at the graduate level, and will prepare students to pursue research in soft matter and other closely related disciplines. Materials Science alumni from the last twenty-five years have undertaken exciting careers in industrial research and development, in national labs, and in academia. 3. Programs Learning Outcomes Graduates of this program will be able to: 1. Gain an advanced understanding of the fundamental science of Soft Matter and Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystals, and the ability to apply acquired knowledge of physical and chemical properties of soft materials to understand utilize novel phenomena at the interface with liquid crystals. 2.

  • Materials Science
    Materials Science Materials Science is an interdisciplinary field combining physics (fundamental laws of nature), chemistry (interactions of atoms) and biology (how life interacts with materials) to elucidate the inherent properties of basic and complex systems. This includes optical (interaction with light), electrical (interaction with charge), magnetic and structural properties of everyday electronics, clothing and architecture. The Materials Science central dogma follows the sequence: Structure—Properties—Design—Performance. This involves relating the nanostructure of a material to its macroscale physical and chemical properties. By understanding and then changing the structure, material scientists can create custom materials with unique properties. The goal of the materials science minor is to create a cross-disciplinary approach to fundamental topics in basic and applied physical sciences. Students will gain experience and perspectives from the disciplines of chemistry, physics and biology. The minor places a strong emphasis on current nanoscale research methods in addition to the basics of electronic, optical and mechanical properties of materials. Any student with an interest in pursuing the cross-disciplinary minor in materials science should consult with the coordinator of the minor. Students are encouraged to declare their participation in their sophomore year but no later than the end of the junior year. Students also should seek an adviser from participating faculty.

Ergänzt wird das Programm durch Services wie Neuerscheinungsdienst oder Zusammenstellungen von Büchern zu Sonderpreisen. Der Shop führt mehr als 8 Millionen Produkte. Preface This book originates from the suggestion made by several colleagues to extract certain sections from a two-volume book that I recently published in Italian with the Bollati-Boringhieri publishing house. The sections concerned deal with recent developments in chemical physics and the intention was to implement them with additional material in order to produce a book in English, explicitly dealing with the progress of chemical physics, in particular that realized in the last two centuries. As a professor of chemical physics, I felt encouraged to fill this gap by producing a book that could offer to new generations of chemistry students a testimony of the commitments, hopes, and dreams that my generation has experienced throughout this fascinating adventure. Although chemistry has its roots in alchemy, or even earlier in the old Sumerian, Babylonian, and Egyptian cultures, chemical physics became an independent discipline only in the second half of the eighteenth century. At this time the efforts of several scientists interested in developing the basic theoretical aspects of chem- istry and their relationships with physics gave rise to the birth of this new discipline and to the creation of the first chairs and journals of chemical physics.

  • From Physical Chemistry to Chemical Physics, 1913-1941
    International Workshop on the History of Chemistry 2015 Tokyo From Physical Chemistry to Chemical Physics, 1913-1941 Jeremiah James Ludwig-Maximillian University, Munich, Germany There has never been one unique name for the intersection of chemistry and physics. Nor has it ever been defined by a single, stable set of methods. Nevertheless, it is possible and arguably rewarding to distinguish changes in the constellation of terms and techniques that have defined the intersection over the years. I will speak today about one such change, the advent and ascendancy of chemical physics in the interwar period. When the young Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald first began to formulate his campaign for “physical chemistry” in 1877, he used the term almost interchangeably with two others, “general chemistry” and “theoretical chemistry.” According to his vision of what would soon become a new chemical discipline, physical chemistry would investigate and formulate the general principles that underlie all chemical reactions and phenomena. The primary strategy that he and his allies used to generate these principles was to formulate mathematical “laws” or “rules” generalizing the results of numerous experiments, often performed using measuring apparatus borrowed from physics. Their main fields of inquiry were thermochemistry and solution theory, and they avoided and often openly maligned speculations regarding structures or mechanisms that might underlie the macroscopic regularities embodied in their laws.1 In the first decades of the 20th-century, the modern atomic theory was firmly established, and with only a slight delay, the methods of 19th-century physical chemistry lost a considerable proportion of their audience. Theories relying upon atomistic thinking began to reshape the disciplinary intersections of chemistry and physics, and by the end of the 1930s, cutting-edge research into the general principles of chemistry looked quite different than it had at the turn of the century.

  • Glossary of Materials Engineering Terminology
    Glossary of Materials Engineering Terminology Adapted from: Callister, W. D.; Rethwisch, D. G. Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction, 8th ed.; John Wiley & Sons, Inc.: Hoboken, NJ, 2010. McCrum, N. G.; Buckley, C. P.; Bucknall, C. B. Principles of Polymer Engineering, 2nd ed.; Oxford University Press: New York, NY, 1997. Brittle fracture: fracture that occurs by rapid crack formation and propagation through the material, without any appreciable deformation prior to failure. Crazing: a common response of plastics to an applied load, typically involving the formation of an opaque banded region within transparent plastic; at the microscale, the craze region is a collection of nanoscale, stress-induced voids and load-bearing fibrils within the material’s structure; craze regions commonly occur at or near a propagating crack in the material. Ductile fracture: a mode of material failure that is accompanied by extensive permanent deformation of the material. Ductility: a measure of a material’s ability to undergo appreciable permanent deformation before fracture; ductile materials (including many metals and plastics) typically display a greater amount of strain or total elongation before fracture compared to non-ductile materials (such as most ceramics). Elastic modulus: a measure of a material’s stiffness; quantified as a ratio of stress to strain prior to the yield point and reported in units of Pascals (Pa); for a material deformed in tension, this is referred to as a Young’s modulus. Engineering strain: the change in gauge length of a specimen in the direction of the applied load divided by its original gauge length; strain is typically unit-less and frequently reported as a percentage.
