EST543: Instrumental Analysis of Eco-Materials / Faculty of Applied Sciences

The characteristics and behaviour of sustainable materials needs to be understood for development of ecologically responsible products. Knowledge on these raw materials and the finished products will enable the industry to select appropriate manufacturing process that can minimize the risk and impact on the environment. This course introduces and practises on various relevant scientific and industrial analytical methods include chromatographic techniques, spectroscopic techniques, microscopy, thermal analysis and particle sizing. This course includes the methods and instrumentation, types of data and common ways of interpreting data for Eco-products and materials.
