Structure, Properties and Applications of Polymers A - MECH60013
Aims
This module aims to develop an understanding of the mechanical properties, processing characteristics and failure modes of the principal classes of polymers, in terms of their structure and to use such data for material selection.The module develops familiarity with available processing technologies, and how they influence the design and properties of plastic components. The module also develops understanding of the viscoelastic nature of polymers, and to account for time- and temperature-dependent behaviour. This is a level 6 version of the enhanced level 7 SPAP module and students cannot take both for credit towards their final degree.
ECTS units: 5

Fundamentals of Composite Materials - MSc AERO70033
Aims
This module will take you through some of the fundamental concepts in composite materials, which the rest of the MSc programme will build upon. The module will start with an introduction to various composite systems, followed by the mechanical properties and characterisation of composite materials.
