MSE 111: Materials Kinetics and Processing


Units: 4

Kinetic principles are applied to the study of mass transport processes, reactions, and phase transformations in engineering materials, with an emphasis on the solid state. Topics include thermal activation, reaction rates and pathways, nucleation and growth, epitaxy and templating, evolution and control of micro- and nano-structure, and kinetic considerations in electrochemistry. Applications and case studies relevant to processing and property retention of metals, polymers, ceramics, semiconductors and nanomaterials are considered.
