What will I learn?
This course teaches designing safer, high-performance coatings and hybrid materials. Select low-toxicity precursors, replace hexavalent chromium, control sol-gel networks, porosity and mechanical behaviour. Plan robust experiments, interpret SEM, FTIR, XPS and EIS data, and develop compliant protection systems with step-by-step synthesis and application guidance.
