The course will provide students with a working knowledge of fundamental process industrial chemistry and material science. In this context, in the field of industrial chemical processes continuous and batch processes will be described , together with recycle, selectivity and yield notion. The process safety will be analyzed, considering toxicity, fire and explosion risk. The explosive limits concept will be explained and discussed, as well as powder explosion, flash point, ignition, extinguisher agents, and different “case histories” on real process explosions will be analyzed. Industrial catalysis will be discussed and its applications also in energy field (catalytic converter). Different energy sources for chemical processes will be considered (traditional heating, microwaves and ultrasounds). The role of patents and mark in industrial chemistry will be explained as well as the use of Patent Libraries. In the field of Material science, after a brief introduction on the metallic and ceramic materials, the attention will be devoted to the main concepts and characteristics of polymers and macromolecules. The main definitions of monomers, repeating units and the concept of average molecular weight will be introduced and discussed. Then, the different typologies of polymers will be introduced as a function of the monomers alternance in the macromolecular backbone (i.e., homopolymer, random, block and grafted copolymers) and their spatial distribution. The concepts of crystalline and amorphous phases will be introduced as well as the main respective temperatures such as the melting and the glass transition temperature, respectively. Parameters that influence the position of such temperatures will be reported and discussed. Finally, the different nature of polymers will be reported as a function of their mechanical properties.
