Abstract

The course Composites Technologies presents both scientific and technological aspects of composites' processing, so that students should be able to unterstand the interrelationships between material choice, design and processing technologies along the whole value-chain, which are specific attributes of composites.

Objective

To provide a thorough knowledge in the field of materials, processing and design of advanced composites structures considering the strong interrelationship between material-, process- and part-development

Content

1. Foundamentals about composites 2. Raw materials 3. Processing of thermoset composites 4. Tooling (prepreg technique) 5. Design-to-cost aspects 6. Textile preforms 7. LCM methods 8. Processing of thermoplastic composites 9. Press processing of continuous fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites 10. Composites recycling
