This course provides a broad and basic knowledge of materials chemistry that includes polymers, fiber-based materials, composites, hybrid materials, semiconductors, and magnets.

The course provides in-depth knowledge in creating, developing and analyzing the structure and properties of the materials and covers both practical and theoretical elements.

After successfully completing the course the student shall be able to:

• Define and describe material with respect to structure, morphology, properties, and uses as well as the relationships between these.
• Develop and design materials and material products with consideration for sustainable development.
• Perform laboratory work within materials chemistry and materials production processes and then evaluate and present their work in a written form.
• Summarize and evaluate knowledge from materials related industris as well as independently reflect on the achetypal rolls and duties of a civil engineer in materials related industries.
