The course is optional course for thematerials graduate students. The main contents contain: fundamental theories, preparationmethods/processes, physical and chemical properties, applications of advancedcomposite materials (including nano-MOFs and their composites and derivatives).Through lectures (including literature survey and discussions), the objectivesare to make the students systematically master fundamentals of compositematerials, train students to be able to select or design advanced compositematerials for specific applications.
