3MAB3 Polymers and composites processing Materials and Mechanics - Apprenticeship S9
Lessons : 15 h TD : 15 h TP : 0 h Project : 0 h Total : 30 h
Co-ordinator : David Blond
Prerequisite
Propriétés mécaniques et physiques des matériaux (1MAC1)
Course Objectives
- Get a general knowledge of the different type of fillers and polymers classes of polymers and the main reinforcements used in polymer composite materials
- Understand the main processes of production of these composites
Syllabus
- Introduction to the main polymers used in the composite materials (thermoplastics, thermoset, elastomers)
- Introduction to the main fillers (additives, reinforcing fillers, fibers and cloth reinforcements)
- Introduction to the architecture of composite materials (laminates, sandwich etc..)
Practical work (TD or TP)
Tutorial classes: Select the suitable matrix and filler and determine the volume fraction of filler to full fill the specific mechanical properties requirements of a polymer composite
Acquired skills
Acquire a good understanding of the polymer composite materials used in industry and be able to use the most suitable process to fullfill technical and economic criteria
