Overview

Date/time interval

Secondo Semestre (24/02/2026 - 31/05/2026)

Syllabus

Course Objectives

The aim of the course is to provide the basic knowledge of the chemistry
of materials aimed at understanding the structure and properties of the
different classes of materials.
At the end of the course, the student has acquired the basic knowledge of
the main classes of materials, their properties and applications. They are
also able to understand the principles underlying the design,
development and manufacture of latest generation products

Course Prerequisites

Knowledge of general and inorganic chemistry

Teaching Methods

The course consists of lectures in the classroom (scheduled for 42 hours)
and numerical exercises (scheduled for 6 hours).
Frontal lessons.
Teaching is mainly conventional, with oral presentation, supported by
slide projections and writing on the blackboard. The teacher illustrates
the relevance of the topics by giving concrete examples of their
application in the context of applications to materials of interest in the
dental field. The aim of the lectures is to convey the notions of theory
relevant to the topics discussed.
Numerical exercises.
The exercises are carried out in parallel with the lectures, at the end of a
cycle of lessons with coherent contents. The purposes of the exercises
are:- the practical application of the theoretical notions proposed (acquisition
of practical skills)
- stimulate the ability to analyze and identify a strategy aimed at solving
the problem (acquisition of processing skills).

Assessment Methods

The exam consists of a written test and an oral test. The written exam
consists of a multiple choice test of 6 questions including 3 theoretical
questions and 3 exercises. The questions are intended to assess both the
understanding of the fundamental principles of chemistry and materials
science and the student's ability to apply what is described in theory to
real cases. Numerical problems are instead aimed at verifying the
student's ability to use the concepts acquired by carrying out numerical
exercises. Those who pass the written exam with a mark of at least 18/30
are allowed to sit the oral exam in the same section.
The oral exam consists of a discussion lasting about 20 minutes in which
questions will be asked relating to theoretical aspects related to the
topics addressed in the teaching and reported in the detailed program of
the course, and is aimed at ascertaining the level of knowledge and
understanding. achieved by the student on the theoretical and
methodological contents indicated in the program. It will also make it
possible to verify the student's communication skills with language
properties and autonomous organization of the exposition of the topics,
as well as verify the student's ability to apply the skills acquired to more
complex systems, however, attributable to the teaching program.
The final mark of the exam will be expressed out of thirty and will take
into account overall the evaluations obtained in the written and oral
tests.
