Students will be able to:

Discuss the relationships among structure, properties and applications of inorganic non-metallic materials.

Describe the technological processes for the production of glass, ceramics and inorganic binders.

Explain the physical and chemical processes occurring during the production of these materials.

Apply the results of characterization methods of inorganic non-metallic materials in relation to processes for their production and degradation.
