Objectives
THE GOAL OF THE COURSE IS TO GIVE TO THE STUDENTS OF THE MASTER DEGREE IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING, THE PRACTICAL AND THEORETICAL KNOW-HOW TO USE THE ADVANCED TECHNIQUES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF THIN FILMS AND INTERFAES AND TO STRUCTURALLY AND MORPHOLIGICALLY CHARACTERIZE THE OBTAINED SAMPLES. AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENTS WILL KNOW HOW TO HANDLE ALL THE TECHNIQUES ILLUSTRATED, BEING ABLE TO EVALUATE THEIR POTENTIALITIES IN SEVERAL SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL FIELDS.

EXPECTED RESULTS:
•APPLIED KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
- KNOLEDGE OF THE MAIN EXPERIMENTAL INDUSTRIAL TECHNIQUES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF THIN FILMS OF INORGANIC, ORGANIC AND HYBRID MATERIALS.
- KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF THE OBTAINED SAMPLES.
- ABILITY TO EVALUATE THE INFLUENCE OF DIFFRENT PARAMETERS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF INORGANIC AND ORGANIC THIN FILMS

•APPLIED KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
- ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF DIFFERENT PVD (PHYSICAL VAPOUR DEPOSITION) TECHNIQUES, SUCH AS SPUTTERING, LASER ABLATION AND MOLECULAR BEAM EPITAXY AND OF THE ELECTROSPINNING TECHNIQUE FOR THE DEPOSITION OF ORGANIC AND HYBRID MATERIALS.
•APPLIED KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: ENGINEERING DESIGN
- ABILITY TO PROJECT THIN FILM MATERIALS WITH THE SPECIFIC STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES
- ABILITY TO STRUCTURALLY AND MORPHOLOGICALLY CHARACTERIZE THE PRODUCED MATERIALS, GIVING A COMPLETE COMPOSITIONAL-PROCESS-STRUCTURE-PHYSICAL PROPERTIES DESCRIPTION.

•MAKING JUDGEMENTS: ENGINEERING PRACTICE
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO EVALUATE BY HER/HIMSELF:
- THE VALIDITY AND THE LIMITS OF THE MODELS USED TO INTERPRET THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL BEHAVIOUR OF THE MATERIALS, AS A FUNCTION OF THEIR COMPOSITION
- THE FIELDS OF USE OF THE MAIN FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE SPECIFIC CRITERIA AT THE BASE OF THE DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF APPLICATIVE THIN FILM MATERIALS
•TRANSVERSAL SKILLS: COMMUNICATION SKILLS
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO PROPERLY TALK (AT SCIENTIFIC LEVEL) ABOUT THE DESIGN AND THE PRODUCTION OF INORGANIC AND ORGANIC THIN FILMS MATERIALS AND ON THEIR STRUCTURAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION.
TRANSVERSAL SKILLS: ABILITY TO LEARN
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO LEARN ABOUT NEW TECHNOLOGIES BY USING AN ADEGUATE THERMINOLOGY ALONG WITH THE SPECIFIC BASIC PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL TOOLS.
TRANSVERSAL SKILLS: INVESTIGATION SKILLS
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO INVESTIGATE NEW SYSTEMS BY USING AN ADEGUATE THERMINOLOGY ALONG WITH THE SPECIFIC BASIC PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL TOOLS.
Prerequisites
BASIC CLASSICAL PHYSICS; INORGANIC AND ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Contents
THE TECHNIQUES TO BE ILLUSTRATED IN THE COURSE ARE LARGELY USED IN MANY SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL FIELDS. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES, SPUTTERING, LASER ABLATION AND MOLECULAR BEAM EPITAXY WILL BE DISCUSSED ALONG WITH THE ELECTROSPINNING DEPOSITION TECHNIQUE, WHILE FOR THE ADVANCED CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES, X-RAY DIFFRACTION ANALYSIS, I.R AND U.V-VISIBLE SPECTROSCOPY AND DC ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS AS A FUNCTION OF THE TEMPERATURE WILL BE ILLUSTRATED.
THE COURSE FORESEES BOTH THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL LECTURES WITH LABORATORY ACTIVITIES WHERE THE STUDENTS WILL EXPERIENCE DIRECTLY THE ACQUIRED NOTIONS. THE PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES IN THE LABORATORY WILL COVER AT LEAST THE 50% OF THE TOTAL HOURS.

PRINCIPLES OF MODERN PHYSICS (10 HOURS THEORY)
PVD DEPOSITION TECHNIQUES (5 HOURS THEORY AND 3 HOURS LAB)
PRODUCTION OF INORGANIC THIN FILMS BY PVD TECHNIQUES (3 HOURS LAB)
STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF INORGANIC THIN FILMS BY X-RAY TECNIQUES (3 HOURS LAB)
MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF INORGANIC THIN FILMS (3 HOURS LAB)
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF INORGANIC THIN FILMS AS A FUNCTION OF TEMPERATURE (3 HOURS LAB)
I.R. SPECTROSCOPY PRINCIPLES (4 HOURS THEORY)
U.V.-VISIBLE SPECTROSCOPY PRINCIPLES (4 HOURS THEORY)
PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES OF ELECTROSPINNING (5 HOURS THEORY)
PRODUCTION OF BIO MATERIALS BY ELECTROSPINNING TECHNIQUE (9 HOURS LAB)
STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE BIOMATERIALS (2 HOURS THEORY AND 6 HOUR LAB)

Teaching Methods
THE COURSE FORESEES THEORETICAL LECTURES (30 HOURS) AND PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES IN LAB (30 HOURS) FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT OF 60 HOURS.
LECTURES ARE PROVIDED .
ATTENDANCE AT THE LECTURES IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
Verification of learning
THE EXAM IS DESIGNED TO ASSESS THE STUDENT'S ABILITY TO LEARN THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF THIN FILM DEPOSITION TECHNIQUES COVERED DURING THE COURSE, AND THE ABILITY TO DESIGN MANUFACTURES OF INORGANIC AND ORGANIC NATURE WITH STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS FOR TARGETED APPLICATIONS. STUDENTS WILL BE ASKED TO WRITE A PAPER ON A LABORATORY EXPERIENCE, AGREED WITH THE TEACHERS, AND THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED THROUGH A BOTTOM-UP PROCESS WILL BE VERIFIED.

THE FINAL MARK WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT:

THE QUALITY OF THE EXPOSURE, IN TERMS OF USING APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE
THE ABILITY TO CROSS-CORRELATION BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT TOPICS OF THE COURSE AND WITH OTHER ENGINEERING DISCIPLINES
THE AUTONOMY OF PROVEN JUDGMENT
TO ACHIEVE SUFFICIENCY THE STUDENT WILL HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE KNOWLEDGE OF A SPECIFIC METHODOLOGY FOR THE PREPARATION OF AN ORGANIC OR INORGANIC SYSTEM AND TO CORRELATE THE PREPARATION METHOD WITH THE EXPECTED PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE MATERIAL.
TO ACHIEVE EXCELLENCE, THE STUDENT MUST DEMONSTRATE THE ABILITY TO KNOW HOW TO APPROACH THE DESIGN, PROPOSING THE APPROPRIATE METHODOLOGY OF PREPARATION, OF AN ORGANIC OR INORGANIC NON-CONVENTIONAL MATERIAL, NOT TREATED DURING THE LABORATORY, FOLLOWING A BOTTOM-UP APPROACH STARTING FROM THE STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES THAT WILL BE PROPOSED TO HIM/HER.
ATTENDANCE AT THE LECTURES IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
Texts
THE TEACHING MATERIAL WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE STUDENTS DURING THE COURSE
