MTX 502 - Adv Material & Composite

3 credits
Processes used for producing functionally advanced and intelligent fibrous materials: Lamination, coating, flocking, wet layup, resin transfer molding, sheet molding, pultrusion, and filament winding. Also studied are resins for coating, adhesives and polymeric matrices, and reinforcing fibrous structures and preforms such as prepreg, fabrics, 3-D woven fabrics, nonwovens, nanofibers, braided and knotted structures. Properties of the resulting structures and their application areas such as nanocomposites, biological fibrous composites, medical, military, and other industrial and functional products are considered.
