This is an introductory course in the field of surface modifications and properties. The goal is that the students get acquainted with a number of important techniques for the functionalization of surfaces on substrates ranging from metals to inorganic/ceramic materials to polymers. The course covers both the more traditional techniques that are widely used today for industrial applications (e.g.,

A project lasting one semester, with special requirements regarding choice of materials, properties, etc., concluding project presentation event.Experiments to teach experimental competence using selected examples from polymer chemistry, analytics and physics (e.g. for the storage or conversion of energy), partly closely based on courses.
