1 semester

Many sustainable technologies can only be realized through the selection and adapted modification of materials. Both their chemical and physical properties are of particular importance here. Using selected future technologies as examples, the materials used are examined with regard to their chemical and physical properties and their relationship to the structure. Particular attention is drawn to a deeper understanding of the materials.

Consideration of basic principles as well as chemical and physical operating principles of matreials using concrete application examples

- Hydrogen technology

- fuel cell

- battery

- photovoltaics

- Insulation (organic and inorganic, foams)

- LED OLED

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Homework / Assignment or
• Oral presentation, with written elaboration

The examiners choose the type of examination from the options provided and inform the students at the beginning of the semester.

• Paper: 15 pages
• Presentation: 20 minutes; corresponding paper: 5 pages

The module assumes basic knowledge of the chemical and physical principles for the definition of material functions, as acquired in introductory modules on chemistry and physics.

The following basic literature is recommended:

Mortimer, C., Müller, U.: Chemie - Das Basiswissen der Chemie, Thieme Verlag, Auflage: 12, 2015

P.W. Atkins, J.de Paula: Atkins: Kurzlehrbuch Physikalische Chemie, 4. Auflage 2008, WILEY-VCH Verlag

J. Rybach; Physik für Bachelors, Hanser – Verlag (2008)

Students can name important basic chemical and physical principles for materials and define and differentiate their function.

Students will be able to compare the basic chemical and physical principles of materials with their functions and describe the relationships between them.

Students can trace the functions of materials back to their chemical and physical properties and discuss this using examples

Students can recognize basic chemical and physical principles in technologies and apply them to questions of material selection.

Students will be able to summarize current literature on high-performance plastics and present and discuss it in the group. Students will be able to conduct goal-oriented discussions with employees on the basis of reflective preparation.
