Course content
|
The subject "Non-metallic materials" aims to acquaint students with the production, properties and applications of non-metallic materials - i.e. polymer and ceramic materials. The content of the subject is therefore a detailed insight into basic raw materials and the synthesis of polymer substances, characterization of polymer categories and their specific representatives - their chemical and physical properties, which result in the possibilities of their use. An analogous curriculum of knowledge is also imparted in the field of ceramic materials - characterization and preparation of raw materials, ceramic production technology, categories, specific types of ceramics, information on the chemical and physical properties of ceramic materials and an overview of their possible use. The course content also focuses on the most modern trends in the field of non-metallic and composite materials. Chronological overview of lecture topics: Comparing metals, ceramics and polymers from different points of view; characterization of composite materials, smart materials and principles of nanomaterials. Strong and weak points of different classes of materials. Raw materials used for conventional and advanced ceramics, characterization methods of chemical, mineralogical and mechanical properties.Processing of non-metallic raw materials. Basic information on ceramics and refractories - basic types, productiom technologies (shaping , drying, firing). Process of sintering, high-temperature reactions. Advanced (technical) oxide and non-oxide ceramics - types, technology of processing, usage. Glass, glassceramics. Ceramic fibers. High temperature superconductors based on ceramics. Introduction to polymers, raw materials for their production. Polymerization and technologies used. Types of polymers, examples, properties, usage. Processing of polymers. Polymer fibers. Biopolymers Composite materials - theory, systematics, examples. Composites for technical praxis. Surface processing of materials, finishing. Recycling non-metallic materials. Choise of materials using the database systems. Working with the material database GRANTA EduPack, principles, philosophy. Aplications of non-metallics in machinery sector. Outlook, visions of development.
