Summary
The subject is focused on the theoretical and practical basics in field of composites and special ceramics. Students will learn the basic concepts, raw materials, relationship between structure and properties, processes and technology of treatment and manufacturing of composites, construction and functional ceramics, bioceramics, special glasses and enamels.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Student will be able:
- to explain interaction at matrix reinforcement interface, effect on composites properties
- to describe manufacturing processes of composites and to familiarise with particular applications
- to define special ceramic
- to describe preparation and properties these materials
- orientation in areas of special materials and their application in practice
