General data

Course ID:	02-ASA
Erasmus code / ISCED:	(unknown) / (unknown)
Course title:	Aggregation and Self-assembly
Name in Polish:	Aggregation and Self-assembly
Organizational unit:	Faculty of Chemistry
Course groups:	(in Polish) Moodle - przedmioty Szkoły Nauk Ścisłych AMU-PIE offer, winter semester
ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	3.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Short description:	This course will introduce and discuss the basic qualitative and quantitative understanding of aggregation and self-assembly. The goal is to provide the corresponding vocabulary and concepts and to illustrate them with examples of aggregation and self-assembly of surfactants, (bio-)polymers and nano-particles. At the end of the course you will: - be able to characterize the morphology of self-assembled structures, - understand general driving forces and mechanisms of aggregation and self-assembly, - know selected applications of aggregation and self-assembly phenomena, - be exposed to a research/application topic by participation in the course project.
Full description:	Week 1: Course Introduction: overview of self-assembled structures and their thermodynamic and kinetic origins; introduction to the course project. Week 2: Surfactants: mechanisms of aggregation and self-assembly. Week 3: (Bio-)Polymers: mechanisms of aggregation and self-assembly. Week 4: Nano-particles: mechanisms of aggregation and self-assembly. Week 5: In class initial project presentations and project assignments. Week 6: Aggregation and self-assembly: selected issues and applications. Week 7: Aggregation and self-assembly: selected issues and applications. Week 8: In class project presentations and report evaluations.
