Prerequisites
To better understand the lesson topics, physics, inorganic and physical chemistry basic notions are required
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the students must know the main microscopic, spectroscopic and thermal techniques and their application fields
Course contents
Module 1 - Adsorption phenomenon, main isotherms and their classification; thermal techniques (thermogravimetry TGA, differential thermal analysis DTA, differential scanning calorimetry DSC, DMA and TMA with application in food industry); scanning electron microscopy (SEM and forensic analysis application); electronic microanalysis (EDS and WDX)
Module 2 - High pressure thermal techniques (HP TGA and HP DSC) and manometric methods for the gas-solid interactions studies; trasmission electron microscopy; traditional Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and attenuated total reflection IR; Probe Microscopic techniques (STM, AFM). Use of the techniques for energetic, pharmaceutic and nutraceutic applications.
