Course Content
Fundamentals of nanostructured systems. This course is based on a
physico-chemical approach both for the subjects (metal nanoparticles,
polymer aggregates, soft matter structures) and for the
characterization methods described. Basic concepts on surface
properties, intermolecular forces and chemical equilibrium are revised.
Wide space is given to the application of nanosystems in the biomedical
field and in the context of advanced materials.

Learning Objectives
This course is aimed at providing basic knowledge to understand how processes which generate auto-organization occur.
Examples are mainly taken from biological systems and from innnovative technologies.

Prerequisites
Notions from the courses of general chemistry, organic chemistry and
elements of thermodynamics
elements of thermodynamics
Teaching Methods
Classes, seminars and laboratory experiences.
This course partially makes use of online resources.

Further information
Upon request of the student, the teacher can propose a brief document to be studied and presented during the examination. If this presentation is sufficiently well done, one point will be added to the final grade.
Type of Assessment
Written report on the laboratory experience; oral exams with typical
duration of 30-40 minutes.
On a voluntary basia the students can discuss one of the scientific paper presented in class and obtain (if positively evaluated)
an additional point in the final grade
