For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This course focuses on the latest scientific developments and discoveries in the field of nanomechanics, the study of forces and motion on extremely tiny (10-9 m) areas of synthetic and biological materials and structures. At this level, mechanical properties are intimately related to chemistry, physics, and quantum mechanics. Most lectures will consist of a theoretical component that will then be compared to recent experimental data (case studies) in the literature. The course begins with a series of introductory lectures that describes the normal and lateral forces acting at the atomic scale. The following discussions include experimental techniques in high resolution force spectroscopy, atomistic aspects of adhesion, nanoindentation, molecular details of fracture, chemical force microscopy, elasticity of single macromolecular chains, intermolecular interactions in polymers, dynamic force spectroscopy, biomolecular bond strength measurements, and molecular motors. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Materials-Science-and-Engineering/3-052Spring-2007/CourseHome/index.htm Ortiz, Christine 2007-11-02T02:56:06-04:00 3.052 en-US Materials Science and Engineering Agricultural/Biological Engineering and Bioengineering lipid bone DNA protein chemistry physics quantum mechanics adhesion bonding atomic molecule biomimetics seashell polymer collagen nanotube malaria gecko nanoindentation atomic force microscope AFM cells biological engineering biology MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This course is a required sophomore subject in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, designed to be taken in conjunction with the core lecture subject 3.012 Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering <**link to course>. The laboratory subject combines experiments illustrating the principles of quantum mechanics, thermodynamics and structure with intensive oral and written technical communication practice. Specific topics include: experimental exploration of the connections between energetics, bonding and structure of materials, and application of these principles in instruments for materials characterization; demonstration of the wave-like nature of electrons; hands-on experience with techniques to quantify energy (DSC), bonding (XPS, AES, FTIR, UV/vis and force spectroscopy), and degree of order (x-ray scattering) in condensed matter; and investigation of structural transitions and structure-property relationships through practical materials examples. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Materials-Science-and-Engineering/3-014Fall-2006/CourseHome/index.htm Stellacci, Francesco Gradecak, Silvija Hobbs, Linn Gradecak, Silvija Hobbs, Linn 2007-10-30T12:56:09-04:00 3.014 en-US Materials Science and Engineering Manufacturing Engineering Materials Engineering corrosion glass polymer ferromagnetic ferromagnetism fuel cell battery radiation quantum mechanics quantum phonon dynamic light scattering (DLS) vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) FTIR spectroscopy Raman spectroscopy UV/Vis scanning electron microscopy (SEM) STM) scanning probe microscopy (AFM x-ray diffraction (XRD) differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermodynamics energy lattice crystal structure magentic properties magnetism electronic properties electron MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This course is aimed at presenting the concepts underlying the response of polymeric materials to applied loads. These will include both the molecular mechanisms involved and the mathematical description of the relevant continuum mechanics. It is dominantly an "engineering" subject, but with an atomistic flavor. It covers the influence of processing and structure on mechanical properties of synthetic and natural polymers: Hookean and entropic elastic deformation, linear viscoelasticity, composite materials and laminates, yield and fracture. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Materials-Science-and-Engineering/3-91Spring-2007/CourseHome/index.htm Roylance, David 2007-10-25T12:54:28-04:00 3.91 en-US Materials Science and Engineering Plastics Engineering Technology/Technician plastics fabrication methods mechanical property evaluation viscoelastic and strength properties viscoelastic phenomena synthetic high polymers plastics MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
