Credit points: 15
Subject outline
CHE5SEA is a required subject for Bachelor of Science (Honour)/Master of Nanotechnology students. You will study contemporary theoretical and technological aspects of chemical sensors and biosensors, as well as the chemical materials required for real world implementation. This multifaceted subject includes topics on sensors and electrochemistry (electrochemical principles, general concepts of chemical sensing, amperometric sensors, lab-on-a-chip miniaturization), surface chemistry(the role of second order interactions and the chemical potential in chemical processes, solubility, miscibility, solvent extraction, interactions on and between surfaces and interfaces with implications in catalysis and sensing) and polymer chemistry (concepts, nomenclature, synthesis and characterisation of polymers and their real world applications). You will gain experience conducting and interpreting laboratory experiments related to sensors and materials chemistry.
