MTT081 Tailored materials and commercialisation aspects lp2 HT19 (7.5 hp)
Course is offered by the Department of Industrial and Materials Science

- Examiner: Uta Klement (uta.klement@chalmers.se)
- Guest lecturers from Chalmers Innovation Office
- Guest lecturers from companied and startups
Course purpose
Increasing demands on properties like light weight, high-temperature stability, high load, wear resistance, bio-compatibility, etc. resulted in the development of a wide range of advanced engineering materials. In the course, several of these modern types of materials (nanostructured materials, amorphous materials, Titanium as bio-compatible and lightweight structural material, etc.) will be discussed. Aim is to introduce topics from the research front in the area of Materials Science and Engineering, and to demonstrate how different materials concepts can be used to achieve novel and/or improved materials properties in order to realize new products. In parallel to the different materials concepts, commercialization aspects will be covered for providing knowledge on intellectual property and innovation strategies.

Course literature
Specific literature (handouts) and lecture slides will be provided via the course webpage.
Course design
The course will be divided into lectures, exercise and home assignment, as well as a project work combining materials and innovation aspects. With respect to the project work, you have to team up with other students and work with a product/innovation (grouping will be done in the beginning of the course). At the end of the course, your group will present the product/innovation you have chosen and will do a “sales pitch” on another product/ innovation. Both parts will be graded (points will be included in exam). Details on the project work will be provided during the first lecture.
Changes made since the last occasion
- New guest lecturers are included in the course.
- A study visit is planned.
- The lecture on textured materials is canceled.
Learning objectives and syllabus
After completion of this course, you should be able to
- describe the different material concepts and their critical parts
- describe the design strategy
- relate the improvement in properties to the materials microstructure
- comment on application limits and exemplify some of the trade-offs involved
- describe different protection strategies
- analyze technological innovations and markets and understand how customer value can be created.
Examination form
A written exam and an approved project work are required for passing the course.
