Kursus om termoplastiske polymerer

Teknologisk Videndeling inviterer til kursus d. 28. marts 2025 på DTU i Lyngby. På kurset gives der en praktisk introduktion til egenskaber og bearbejdning af termoplastiske polymerer.

Kurset vil udforske polymere og plastens innovative og praktiske anvendelser og give deltagerne en forståelse af den unikke kemi og strukturelle kompleksitet, der definerer polymeradfærd. Derudover vil kurset udforske kunsten at vælge den rette plast til enhver anvendelse, give en introduktion til kritiske faktorer, der påvirker ydeevne og holdbarhed, og dække basale data om termisk og elektrisk adfærd, hvor polymere viser deres bemærkelsesværdige tilpasningsevne og alsidighed i forskellige miljøer.

På kurset bliver mekanisk respons og flowegenskaber af termoplast undersøgt, hvilket giver uvurderlig viden, der er afgørende for de forskelligartede anvendelser på tværs af brancher.

Kurset er på engelsk.
