Concept and design of organic, inorganic and biomaterials. Types of chemical bonding in solid; ionic solids, metallic solids, covalent network solids, molecular solids. Crystalline state; crystal growth techniques, physical properties of crystal, bonding in crystalline solids. Amorphous state; sol-gel processing, cementitious materials. Properties, synthesis and structure-property relationship of metal, semiconductor, softmaterials and biomaterials. Materials characterization: optical microscopy, electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, NMR in material chemistry. Chemical approach for the design of fluids.
