Goal(s)
- Study the thermodynamics of liquid and solid mixtures and the chemical reactions involving these mixtures. Applications to practical cases.
- Describe the structure and morphology of surfaces and interfaces.
- Understand the basic concepts that govern the mechanical and physico-chemical equilibra of the systems involving interfaces. Application to wettability and adhesion.
- Present some aspects of the joint involvement of thermodynamics and physico-chemistry of surfaces and interfaces in the study of small systems. Application to homogeneous and heterogeneous germination.
-To provide students with solid bases for the understanding, interpretation and analysis of industrial phenomena and applications involving electrochemistry
