Description:
The Materials surface engineering module shall enable that students are knowledgeable about the structure of engineering materials surface, about physico-chemical phenomena occurring on the interface and methods for the surface modification enabling changing functional properties of the engineering materials surface layer Owing to that students shall obtain a better understanding of correlations between processes occurring spontaneously or forced to cause specific changes of materials surface layer structure. The understanding of those relationships shall result in honing the skill to shape the surface structure so as to obtain functional properties, required in the planned conditions, of engineering materials intended for technical and medical applications.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of education of the modules: physics, chemistry, crystallography, engineering materials structure and properties.
