About This Course

“Fundamentals of inorganic materials science”is a professional basic course for materials science，and it is also an important compulsory course. This course incorporates principal theories of Physical Chemistry, Structural Chemistry and Crystal Chemistry，which is the connection between the foundation courses and the professional courses of materials.

Requirements

From studying the basic relationships of “composition- structure-properties- application” of materials, the abilities of recognition of problem, data analysis and complicate engineering problems analysis could be developed.
