Students will be able to use the acquired knowledge in the following master studies of material engineering and to the solution of appropriate problems of industrial practice.

The knowledge of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry on the secondary school level or basic course of chemistry of mechanical engineering is assumed.

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.

Course-unit credit requirements: attendance at seminars and fulfilment of assignments. Examination verifies the knowledge of the theory and its applications to solving practical problems. The exam is oral with a written preparation time.

The aim of the course is to provide the students of material engineering fundamental physical and chemical information about synthesis of non-metallic materials and their precursors, which are important for understanding the relations between the structure of materials end their (physical) chemical reactivity.

Attendance at seminars and fulfilment of assignments is required. In case students do not meet these conditions they can be given additional assignments.
