Objective

The participants are able to plan and execute processing and analysis of a plastic/composite material. The participants are able to describe and use plastics processing techniques and are able to select suitable plastic materials and manufacturing processes as well as pre- and post-processing technologies for different products. The participants are able to choose appropriate analysis techniques for materials’ characterization. The participants are able to describe the role of rheology in plastics processing.

Content

The students familiarise themselves with pre- and post processing techniques of plastics. The students work in projects in teams and learn to plan and execute processing and characterisation of a plastics or composite material. The students familiarise themselves with processing possibilities in TUAS lab and learn to select the most suitable techniques for their case. The students deepen their understanding of melt behavior of plastics. The yearly implementation is based on topical RDI-project.

Issues: Pre- and post processing techniques, plastics processing and analysis, rheology.
