The course is a major elective course forthe undergraduates of chemistry, materials, electronics, mechanical and energyengineering who want to extend knowledge on materials chemistry and materialsscience. The main contents include: fundamental theories, preparationmethods/processes, physical and chemical properties, and applications of thecomposites. The objectives are to make the students systematically masterfundamentals of composites, train students to be able to select or designcomposite materials for specific applications.
