Class Chemistry

Chemistry is a science that studies the nature of matter, its properties and transformations. It is present in our daily lives, in all materials around us, and in all living beings. It is intended to give students a solid and integrated education in general chemistry and its applications such as the role and use of chemistry in various industries, namely materials and biomaterials, nanotechnology. Technologies applied to environmental processes in the development of new techniques via green processes for the development of new sustainable products.
