Production Techniques of Polymer Matrix Composites
Purpose of Education
The main purpose of the training is to explain the principles of the techniques used in the manufacture of thermoplastic and thermoset-based polymeric composites and to exemplify the applications of the parts produced with these techniques in different sectors, especially the automotive industry. In the training to be given for this purpose, the basic components of the composite, thermoset/thermoplastic based matrix materials and the general characteristics of the reinforcements, the reinforcement forms, the manufacturing technique and the selection criteria of the reinforcement form and the process selection criteria will be explained depending on the properties expected from the composite. With the principles explained in this context, it is aimed to inform the participants about composite design, process selection and process control.
Education target
At the end of this training, all participants;
Materials used in the manufacture of composites,
