MT 602:Principles of Inorganic Materials Synthesis
The goal of this course is to learn the basic concepts commonly utilized in the processing of advanced materials with specific compositions and microstructures. Solid state diffusion mechanisms are described with emphasis on the role of point defects, the mobility of diffusing atoms and their interactions. Macroscopic diffusion phenomena are analyzed by formulating partial differential equations and presenting their solutions. The relationships between processing and microstructure are developed on the basis of the rate of nucleation and growth processes that occur during condensation, solidification and precipitation. Diffusionless phase transformations observed in certain metallic and ceramic materials are discussed. |

| | Research | | Microfluidics, Self-Assembly, and Biomaterials Prof. Lee’s current research is focused on: (1) confined self-assembly of nanoparticles using microfluidics, (2) layer-by-layer self-assembly as a method of coating complex shape structures, and (3) visualization of bacteria and eukaryotic cell interactions with biomaterials under controlled microenvironment. For more information about Prof. Lee’s research tools and projects, click here.
Prof. Lee founded the New Jersey Center for MicroChemical Systems in September 2002 with internal, state and federal funding over $10M in partnership with New Jersey industries including Bristol-Myers Squibb, FMC, Lucent-Bell Labs, and U.S. Army-Picatinny. The vision of the Center is to provide a nationally unique intellectual environment for exploring microreactor-enabled solutions to critical societal issues such as national chemical security, energy efficiency, and infectious diseases through multi-institutional partnerships anchored by Stevens.
