英文简介:

(1) Motivation: The objective of the course is to enable the students to recognize which forces are important in particular systems, as well as how to control these forces.
(2) Contents: This course focuses on the role of various intermolecular and interparticle forces in determining the properties of simple systems such as gases, liquids and solids, with a special focus on more complex colloidal, polymeric and biological systems. The course provides a thorough foundation in theories and concepts of intermolecular forces, including 1) thermodynamic and statistical aspects of intermolecular forces, 2) strong intermolecular forces: covalent and coulomb interactions, 3) interactions involving polar molecules, 4) interactions involving the polarization of molecules, 5) van der waals forces, 6) repulsive steric forces, total intermolecular pair potentials, and liquid structure, 7) special interactions: hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions, 8) various techniques that can measure the intermolecular forces.
(3) Summary: This one-semester course is intended for final-year undergraduate students and graduate students. The primary aim of the course is to provide a thorough grounding in the theories and concepts of intermolecular forces so that the students will be able to appreciate which forces are important in whatever system he or she is dealing with and to apply these theories correctly to specific problems.
