Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Functional materials refer to materials that primarily are not used for their mechanical properties, but for other properties such as physical, chemical etc. The Course deals with:
· Intermetallic materials, including
o superalloys
o memory metals/alloys
o surface coating materials
· Biomaterials
· Advanced ceramic materials, including
o ferroelectric and piezoelectric materials
o electric insulators
o thermal barrier coatings
· Magnetic materials
· Electronic materials, including
o elementary and composite semiconductors
o conductive polymers
o ionic conductor
· Catalytic materials
The course also includes knowledge of which "functions" that can be built in to a material and how one can maximise the performance of the material. Furthermore, information retrieval to find the relevant literature data about functional materials is brought up.
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student should be able to:
Describe the properties of different functional materials and formulate models of the underlying physical and chemical phenomena.
State and compare the most important properties of functional materials including accessibility, price, manufacturability, sustainability, recyclability and environmental impact.
Search and critically analyse literature data on properties of functional materials.
Argue for the choice of functional materials for existing and new applications.
Learning activities
Learning activities in this course include:
Lectures (part I and part II)

Support for students with disabilities
Students at KTH with a permanent disability can get support during studies from Funka:
TEN1 - Written examination, 3.0 credits, Grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
ÖVN1 - Exercise, 3.0 credits, Grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Grading criteria/assessment criteria
MH2300 Functional Materials
Learning objectives. After passing the course the student should be able to:
LO1. Describe the properties of various functional materials and formulate models of the underlying physical and chemical phenomena. LO2. Indicate the most important properties of functional materials including availability, price, manufacturing capacity, durability, recyclability and environmental impact. Compare different materials according to these properties. LO3. Search and critically analyze literature data on the properties of functional materials. LO4. Rationally select functional materials for existing and new applications.
Examination part:
TEN1 – Examination, 3.0 credits: Grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F.
The exam consists of two tests (control scripts KS1 and KS2) which are intended to test LO1, and LO2:
KS1: on course material on intermetallics, advanced ceramics and biomaterials;
KS2: on course material on magnetic, electronic and catalytic materials.
ÖVN1 – Home assignment and oral presentation, 3.0 credits, grading: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F.
The goal of ÖVN1 is to fully achieve LO3 and LO4. It consists of a home assignment (literature review, written report) and an oral presentation at a workshop (SEM1 and SEM2) to other course participants (including the teachers).
