Materials for high temperature applications

Summary

The subject introduces students in more detail to non-metallic inorganic materials used for energy processes and deepens their knowledge of the thermodynamics of oxidic systems. It will expand knowledge about advanced types of inorganic binders, geopolymer systems, refractory materials and their preparation and application possibilities. The subject will also include special materials for furnace and heating equipment. The subject will also deal with ways of shaping these materials, including 3D printing technology.
