Engineered Soft Materials, Graduate Certificate

This program is designed to provide a deeper understanding of soft materials, also called complex fluids, such as colloidal fluids, polymers, and nanofibers. The course material includes the physical and chemical structure and behavior of these materials and interfaces, methods for the manufacture and/or processing of the materials, and analytical techniques. The subjects may be especially useful for scientists and engineers employed in the paint, coatings, polymer, lubrication, and process design industries.
