MOLECULAR SOLIDS

PHMSCI 775

Introduces synthetic and biological polymers applied for drug targeting and controlled drug release, focusing on injectable drugs, including biologics.

CHEM 653

Introduction to solid state materials chemistry, with an emphasis on contemporary topics in the chemistry of nanomaterials. Incorporates fundamental knowledge of solid-state chemistry and traditional materials chemistry with current nanoscale and nanostructural materials research.

CHEM 654

Polymer classification, synthesis, and molecular architecture; solid state structure and characterization; glassy state and glass transition; polymer rheology in solids and gels; transport, dielectric and optical properties.

MS&E 525

Introduction to inorganic organic hybrid materials with an emphasis on polymeric and framework structures. Covers fundamental concepts in coordination chemistry, organic and inorganic bonding, and crystallography. Explores how hybrid materials combine complementary features of organic and inorganic components to enable targeted functions. Topics include coordination complexes, coordination polymers, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), and inorganic polymer composites for applications in energy, separation, and sensing.

CHEM 652

Materials chemistry of inorganic solids. Focuses on the application of chemical concepts to an understanding of properties of solids and how these properties are manifested in practical applications.
