Kursinnehåll
The aim of the course is to enable the students to acquire the theoretical knowledge required for understanding surface chemistry in academia as well as industrial biomedical and biotech research.
In the course, colloidal and surface chemical structures that exist in nature, for example in living cells and cellular structures as well as those used in applications in bio, biomedical, food, pharmaceutical technology and laboratory methodology are considered. Colloidal and surface chemical structures are described through principles and mechanisms that determine self-association of molecules. The role of intermolecular forces and thermodynamic relations are presented and discussed in order to give theoretical understanding of molecular self-organizations in cell biology and biotechnology as well as to explain behavior of molecules at surfaces (for example adsorption). Surface chemical behavior of surfactants, lipids and biopolymers is described in order to show the factors that define rheological properties and stability in polymer and dispersed systems.
Behörighetskrav
1\. Bachelor’s degree (180 credits) or equivalent with a major in chemistry, biochemistry, biomedical technology, biomedical methods and technology, biomedical laboratory science, or in other areas of natural, medical, engineering sciences or technology of relevance to the programme with a minimum of 15 credits in chemistry and/or biochemistry.
2\. The equivalent of English B, or English 6, in Swedish secondary school.
Kursvärdering
Malmö University provides students who participate in, or who have completed a course, with the opportunity to express their opinions and describe their experiences of the course by completing a course evaluation administered by the University. The University will compile and summarise the results of course evaluations. The University will also inform participants of the results and any decisions relating to measures taken in response to the course evaluations. The results will be made available to the students (HF 1:14).
