Material Chemistry ILaajuus (5 cr)

Objective

After the successful completion of the course the student knows the basics of colour and optics can identify the most common natural pigments using analysis charts and indication reactions can measure colour spectra with a spectrophotometer can identify spectra of most common pigments using reference spectra knows the basics of organic chemistry understands the connection between basic knowledge and materials in restoration and their properties knows the basics of FTIR-analysis and knows how to measure FTIR spectra of samples and compare those to reference spectra knows the theory other analytical methods of material research
