Goal(s)

The aim of this course is to discover families of materials (metals and alloys, polymers for different applications, ceramics, nuclear materials, etc.) through their microstructures, properties and environmental impact, in the context of sustainable development.

Through a project, this theme will be explored in greater depth on an applied subject and the skills of bibliographic work will be developed.

Content(s)

2h lecture: Intro materials / environment / LCA and properties
8h metals and alloys :

  • Steels - phase transformation, plastic deformation, corrosion
  • High temperature alloys - creep
  • Light alloys - structural hardening
  • Metals for nuclear applications - irradiation, ...
    10h Ceramics
  • Structural ceramics - fracture, toughness
  • Semiconductors: Microelectronics in the broadest sense (chips, sensors, LED lighting, power electronics for electric vehicles) : Semiconductor issues and critical metals
  • Functional ceramics & magnetic materials: ionic conductivity (SOFC, H2), batteries
  • Materials for energy production and storage: Photovoltaics (process/microstructure/property) relationship and end-of-life recycling), end-of-life recycling materials resources
    4h: Polymers and composites: structural properties
