Goals
To give information about the links between microstructural parameters (defects, grain size…) and both
mechanical properties (hardening, brittleness, plastic deformation) and functional properties (electric,
magnetic…) of metals, ceramics and polymers.
Contact Fabien VOLPI
Content 1. Effects of atomic bonds on properties
2. Microstructural parameters of metals and ceramics (vacancy, dislocation, grain size, precipitates, non
stoechiometry, pores and cracks, amorphous and crystallized structures, texture…)
3. Effects on mechanical properties of metals and ceramics (hardening, plastic deformation, ductility and
brittleness, property scattering…)
4. Effect on functional properties of metals and ceramics (piezoelectricity, di-electric properties, electrical
conductivity, ionic conductivity, magnetic properties, thermal properties…)
