| 327-2103-00L | Composites and Hybrids: From Design to Application New title as of HS22. Old title: Advanced Composite and Adaptive Material Systems | 5 credits | 3V + 1U | F. J. Clemens, B. Weisse, A. Winistörfer | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Composites/hybrids are heterogeneous materials consisting of two or more bonded components, and it is possible to tailor material properties for certain applications. Typically, The components retain their structure and properties, but the properties of the composite are a combination of the properties of its components. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | In this course you will get an inside to lightweight material with high strength, materi-als that are resistive against abrasion, ceramics with damage tolerance behavior, com-posites with bioactive, bioresorbable, piezoresistive and -electric properties. Enables materials scientists to design composite/hybrid materials for different applications. The course will comprise a balance of lectures, exercises and laboratory classes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
