  • Fabrication of Composite Materials
  • Application of Composite Materials

Course content

2 sections • 8 lectures • 32m total length

  • History of Composite Materials8:55

    Explore the history and evolution of composite materials, from ancient mud-and-straw blends to modern carbon fiber systems, highlighting applications in construction, aerospace, automotive, and beyond.

  • Understanding Polymer Matrix2:26

    Explore the polymer matrix in composites, detailing the matrix as the continuous phase, the reinforcements, and the interface, and compare thermoset and thermoplastic matrices for property tailoring and applications.

  • Thermosets vs Thermoplastics4:01

    Thermosets form a permanent cross-linked network via chemical reaction and degrade at heat rather than melt. Thermoplastics melt above melting point and solidify on cooling, though heating can degrade properties.

  • Reinforcement Materials3:41

    Discover reinforcement materials for composites—fibers, flakes, and particles—focusing on carbon and glass fibers, their length and diameter, and how they transfer shear to the matrix and enable manufacturing.

Requirements

  • Basics of Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing process
