Polymers, Ceramics and Composite Materials

Description

This course studies the structure-property relationships as well as the mechanical and thermo mechanical characteristics of the different types of polymeric, ceramic and composite materials. In addition, it introduces the student to the different properties and industrial applications of these materials.

Program

Chemical and Petrochemical Engineering

Objectives

• Upon completion of this course the student will be able to: Develop an understanding of the impact of ceramic and polymer technology on society, locally and internationally. Apply materials engineering concepts in selecting or designing a process, or material to meet a specific requirement specification of a ceramic or polymeric component. Identify practical materials engineering problems in ceramic and polymer technologies Be familiar with the various processes to make different types of composite materials and components and the applications of different types of composites.
