Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After the course, the student should be able to:
- identify the properties of nanocomposite dielectric materials and compare the properties to other materials
- describe how well dispersed nanocomposites are manufactured
- explain how surface functionalization of nanoparticles will affect the macroscopic properties of the material
- use different characterisation methods for nanocomposites
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
MSc in electrical engineering, physical engineering or similar. FEI3230 is good to have.

Literature
J. K. Nelson (ed) , Dielectric Polymer Nanocomposites, Springer,2010, research articles.
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
P, F
Examination
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Other requirements for final grade
One ten page long (font 12pt) essay on the properties of a particular nanocomposite. Participated in 5 out of 7 workshops, each time giving an oral presentation of something from a research article not older than 5 years. One technical report on repeated simulation of data from articles.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
