POLYMER COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY

 LPTC

3003

OBJECTIVES: To enable the students
• To understand the properties and manufacturing of various polymer matrix materials used for Plastic composites.
• To know the manufacturing, different grades and properties of various reinforcements used in Plastic composites.
• To learn about the functions and requirements of different types of additives needed in the manufacture of plastics composites.
• To learn various processing techniques , testing and applications of fibre reinforced plastics

UNIT I

9

Introduction of composite material, comparison of different materials with composites- advantages and disadvantages. Principles of composite reinforcement. Effect of fibrous reinforcement on composite strength.

UNIT II

9

Thermosetting and thermoplastic matrix materials for the composites – unsaturated polyester resins, epoxy resins, vinyester resins – curing of these resins and their selection for a particular application


UNIT III

9

Types of reinforcement such as natural, glass, carbon/graphite, aramid fibers, high strength and high modulus fibers. Surface treatment and various forms of fibers.

UNIT IV

9

Processing and production techniques like hand-lay-up, spray-up, bag moldings, filament winding and pultrusion.

UNIT V

9

Prepregs - their manufacture and characterization. Sheet moulding and dough moulding compounds and their processing, perform and resin transfer moldings. Hybrid and sand witch type composites.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES:
Students would have clear understanding of plastics composites – various components like matrix, reinforcement, special additives etc. They also learn about various processing techniques used for the manufacturing of plastics composites, testing of composites and various application areas.
