《功能复合材料》是材料科学与工程专业的主要技术基础课程之一。随着现代科学技术的发展，研制与开发新型功能材料、具有声、光、电、磁、弹、热等特殊物理性能的新材料已成为近代材料研究和发展的主要方向，功能材料的设计、测试方法与表征技术在现代材料研究领域中也显示出越来越重要的作用。功能复合材料课程的研究主要对象是：材料的电性能、材料的磁性能、材料的热学性能、纳米功能复合材料、功能转化材料、生物材料、光功能材料、薄膜材料等，该课程的主要任务是使学生理解材料功能特性产生的内在本质，掌握材料功能特性基本的实验测试方法与分析技术，培养学生综合分析、解决问题的能力和实验技能，为学生后继课程，完成毕业论文，以及今后从事新材料开发与研制工作打下坚实基础。

“Functional composite materials” is one of the main basic courses of material science and engineering. Along with the development of modern science and technology, researching and developing new functional materials, which have special character in acoustics, optics, electrics, magnetics, elasticity and calorifics, have become the main direction of material research and development. The design, test methods and representation technology play a more and more important role in modern material research. The course, “Functional composite materials”, discusses the following as: the electrics performance, the magnetics performance, the calorifics performance, nano-function composite materials, functions transfer materials, biological materials, optic functional materials and thin film materials. The main task of this course is to make the students understand the inbeing of functional materials, master the basic test and analyse methods. Meanwhile, we can train the students’ abilities of general analysis, problem-solving and experiment skills, that gives them a sound base to continue the following courses, complete graduation thesis and be engaged on the research and development of the new materials in future.
