      The goalThe course covers the physico-chemical basic for a range of instrumental methods/techniques for spectroscopic and microscopic surface characterisation. It discusses how these methods can be applied to gain specific knowledge about morphology, structure, the type of bonds and functional groups on surfaces, chemical and functional properties of surfaces. The student should master the knowlegde where these methods could be applied (biomaterials, polymers, ceramic and metal materials, in catalisys, nanomaterials, in protection, corrosion, tribology, pharmaceutical engineering....).
      The outcomeStudent has acquired basic theoretical knowledge on different modern techniques applied in surface characterization. At the end of this course student will be able to describe the rande of instrumental methods/ techniques for analysing surfaces, what information these techniques provide and their weaknesses and limitations. Student will be able to chosse the appropriate method for characterization of a particular material, to evaluate results and easily learn how to work on particular instrument.
