Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
You will learn the basic concepts in composite materials, including an introduction to various composite systems comprising fibres and matrices, composite interfaces as well as to the mechanical properties and characterisation of composites. Familiarisation with classical lamination theory and its application for predicting the deformation and strength of laminated composite plates.
Assessment and permitted materials
oral examination following individual appointment.2 students at a time
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
at least three questions per student have to be positive: more than half of them answered correctly
Examination topics
content of the lectures, e.g.what are composites? Which reinforcements are available and why or for which matrix will they be used? What matrix systems are available? What are interfaces? How can composite interfaces be characterised?- how to form emulsions and foams?- physical properties required for stable foams and emulsions to form- how to manipulate the wettability of surfaces? - why surfactants are active at interfaces?- how to choose type/class of surfactant to use in certain situations? specifically which would be good to form emulsions, as dispersants and good wetting agents? which would be good to destabilise emulsions?- why are rheological properties important in many applications and how to alter them?- what is adsorption/absorption? how to describe these phenomena?- electrical properties of interfaces- kinetic properties of particles
