Chemistry: Principles of Bonding Applied to The Latest New Materials With Dr Joseph Wright From University of East Anglia
February 8 @ 14:05 - 14:50
In this Chemistry session, Dr Joseph Wright, Senior Lecturer in Energy Materials in the School of Chemistry at University of East Anglia, will run an interactive talk for students on Principles of Bonding Applied to Latest New Materials.
From graphene to lithium-ion batteries, new materials are central to the modern world. To create these new materials, we need to understand the variety of chemical bonding.
In this talk, we will take a tour of modern materials chemistry and see how it links to fundamental bonding principles.
The session will develop thinking, skills and approaches to support students in their Chemistry studies and future aspirations.
