Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Porous organic materials come in many different forms, encompassing nanoporous synthetic polymers with very high surface areas, cellulose-based filter papers for separation applications, macroporous emulsion-templated foams, and many more. The synthetic production routes of each material can differ vastly and hence present an excellent opportunity for the exploration of material science.The course will involve both the synthesis and characterization of porous organic materials, such as those listed above and more. Insoluble networks will be characterised using solid-state techniques, such as FTIR, XPS, TGA and nitrogen sorption isotherms. Prospective students may be tasked with testing the mechanical properties of foam materials the determination of membrane flux in cellulose/based filter papers. We hope to provide the basics skills to produce chemists capable of working in and contributing to the field of porous organic materials.
Assessment and permitted materials
- discussion concerning the preparation (if applies)
- assessment of laboratory work
- original protocol/report
- optional: discussion on report
- for report writing external sources can be used obtaining the code of good scientific practice

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
It is expected that the students prepare the experiments by studying the literature defined by the supervisor. The working time in the laboratory is 3 weeks (120 h). A comprehensive data analysis with estimation of errors/data reliability/data quality is expected and a lab report in the format of a short journal article has to be delivered within 2 weeks after finishing the practical part.Preparation is weighted 10%, laboratory work 30%, data analysis 25% and report 35%. If no literature for preparation was provided the other aspects are scaled accordingly.Minimum requirement is thorough conduction of the experiments according to the laboratory regulations and a satisfying laboratory report.
Examination topics
No exam required. Continuous assessment.
Reading list
Will be assigned upon the beginning of the lab course. Reading list will depend on the research topic chosen.
