Class Objectives
/Class Outline Our goal in Complex Materials Science is to understand the structures and textures of soft complex materials, such as semi-crystalline polymers and lipids, and the formation mechanism. Firstly, we provide an outline of basic thermodynamics and material structures, and second the basis of crystal growth as a typical example of first-order phase transition. Finally, we discuss the results of current researches on such complex systems.

Class Schedule Lesson 1: Guidance (Toda, Taguchi)
Lesson 2: Thermodynamics (Toda)
Lesson 3: Phase equilibrium (Toda)
Lesson 4: Two-component systems (Toda)
Lesson 5: Two- and multi-component systems (Toda)
Lesson 6: Thermodynamics of interface (Toda)
Lesson 7: Transition and reaction rates (Toda)
Lesson 8: Diffusion (Toda)
Lesson 9: Foundation of crystallization theory: First-order phase transition and the driving force for crystallization (Taguchi)
Lesson 10: Foundation of crystallization theory: Nucleation, Critical nucleus and the equilibrium shape of a crystal (Taguchi)
Lesson 11: Ideal growth (Taguchi)
Lesson 12: Growth shape of a crystal and crystal habit change (Taguchi)
Lesson 13: Surface structure and kinetics of crystal growth: Roughening transition (Taguchi)
Lesson 14: Surface structure and kinetics of crystal growth: Two-dimensional nucleation, screw dislocation and Spiral growth (Taguchi)
Lesson 15: Crystallization of a linear polymer molecule (Taguchi)
