Requirements to the exam -

The exam will consist of a presentation of approximately 15 minutes on a topic related to nanochemistry and a subsequent discussion with other students. These presentations will be held only on one pre-arranged date in the form of a mini-conference.

Students who regularly attend lectures during the semester can take part in the exam.

Learning outcomes -
The learning outcomes of this course are designed to provide students with a basic understanding of nanostructures and nanomaterials, their properties, applications and characterization. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to better understand the properties and behavior of systems at the nano- and micro-scale in solutions and the solid phase.
