Learn about the use of nanoscience and nanotechnology in the development of new materials" 

The advances that have been made in the construction materials sector have been very important in recent years. New trends demand that construction works be more sustainable and with high quality controls, which makes it necessary to rethink the processes with which materials are developed. This course will address the relationship of processing techniques, structure and properties with the behavior of materials, learning in detail the progress of materials in the world of new trends, from an innovation point of view.

In this sense, nanoscience and nanotechnology will be one of the points of interest. These have led to the development of new building materials that, among other things, help structures to warn of problems, such as cracking, excessive deformation, etc., or allow them to be multifunctional, such as being self-cleaning, conductive, etc.

An exhaustive analysis of the different families of materials commonly used, such as insulators, ceramics, polymers, etc., will also be made. For all these reasons, we have an excellent teaching staff that offers students its extensive experience in the construction and development of new materials.

With a 100% online postgraduate certificate students will be able to study comfortably, wherever and whenever they want. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality according to the current times with all the guarantees to position the engineer in a highly demanded sector.
