Course description
This course is for students trained in their own disciplines and now needing understanding of the concepts and practices employed in the science and technology of advanced materials. Metals, ceramics, polymers and composite materials will be covered. The course shows that the behavior of materials is directly linked to their fundamental structures, and how structures and hence properties may be altered through processing. Properties, processing, design and environmental protection and degradation will be considered. Case studies in materials selection will be included and some examples of state-of-the-art applications of novel materials will be given. Advanced techniques available for materials characterization will also be introduced.
