KF2495 Polymer Composites - Micro and Nanoscale

Course Description

The main focus of the course is related to the following topics: Fibers and polymer matrices, particles (nano to microscale), fiber-matrix interface, nanocomposites and short fiber composites, geometric aspects, processing methods and processing science of conventional and nanocomposites, elastic properties and strength of unidirectional composites, plant fiber composites, moisture effects, structure and properties of nanocomposites as well as case-studies.

Intended Learning Outcomes

After completing the course, the student should be able to:

• Describe basic concepts, methods and principles related to process, structure and properties of polymeric composites.
• Explain the relationship between the process, structure and properties, including the experimental aspects (for example from the laboratory work) as well as compare different composites environmental impact.
