Learning outcomes The objectives of this Course Unit focus on the development by the students of multidisciplinary projects of current interest, with the main focus on the application of laboratory techniques in Chemistry, following the principles of Green Chemistry, and, whenever possible, integrating techniques of other areas such as Physics, Biochemistry (Toxicity), Environment, with a view to the application and production of more sustainable materials.
Students should recognize the techniques they will need to develop projects proposed by the teacher, know how to apply them and adapt them in order to achieve the objectives of each project.
