  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The aim of this course is to give the student a good knowledge about structures and properties of polymer-based materials. After the course the student shall be able to:
  • understand the structures, and thereby properties, of polymer and composite materials.
  • choose suitable material based on requirements regarding process and properties.
  • choose suitable manufacturing process based on production volumes, dimensions, etc.
  • design with polymer and composite materials.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Basic knowledge regarding solid mechanics.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Lightweight materials, Mechanics of light structures, Optimization of materials, Experimental evaluation of fatigue and fracture properties, Engineering materials/Solid mechanics - Case studies

Organisation:
Lectures, seminars and laboratory work.

Course contents:
Structure of polymer materials, thermoplastics, elastomers, thermosets, composites, additives, crystallinity, thermal properties, mechanical properties, viscoelasticity, damage and fracture, design, and manufacturing.
