一、 課程說明(Course Description)
The course is designed to provide basic understanding of colloid and interface science for students with interests of nanomaterial-manufactured products and their applications in the fields of chemical engineering. The objective is to understand the physical and chemical properties of nanomaterial dispersions, and then to bridge the knowledge of their synthesis and surface chemistry to the recent developments of nanotechnology and bionantechnology.
