| DESCRIPTION | This study-unit will focus on advanced high-performance emerging material systems. The topics covered will include: - High performance ceramic matrix composites used in very demanding and extreme engineering applications such as space, aerospace, energy, and automotive structural and functional applications; - Advanced functional materials used in energy storage and conversion, ion selective membranes, and self-cleaning surfaces; - An overview of the production methods of ceramic fiber and other reinforcing phases, and how these are incorporated within ceramic matrices; - Polymer used in 3D-printing. This will include aspects such as: adhesion and cohesion properties, post processing and repair, degradation, and applications. The course material will be presented through a series of case studies, focusing on various engineering non-metallic material application such as: exhaust turbo fan and compressor, high performance brake components, furnace heat shields, power semi-conducting devices, and battery materials. The focus will be on the material engineering strategies employed to optimize the performance of such components. This module will include a practical designed to reinforce the knowledge gained. Study-unit Aims: This study-unit aims to introduce the student to the world of high-performance non-metallic materials. It will focus on non-metallic materials designed for use in extreme conditions, including very high temperatures and corrosive environments. By exploring the relation between the internal structure and the macroscopic physiochemical properties of these materials, (electrical, mechanical, and other characteristics) the students will gain a better understanding of their performance. The application of these unique non-metallic materials in specific engineering contexts will be highlighted to illustrate the crucial role material development plays in driving technological progress. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - differentiate between high temperature operating materials and their generic counterpart; - appreciate the applicability of specific 3D printed non-metallic materials for select engineering components; - predict the most predominant failure mechanisms in non-metallic material performing under extreme conditions; - appreciate the limitation in technological development imposed by the lack of suitable materials. 2. Skills By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - choose an appropriate non-metallic material for demanding applications; - select suitable processing parameters for the 3D printing of the most common polymers; - predict suitable processing parameters for new polymers based on their chemistry; - predict the most likely degradation mode of a ceramic matrix composites subject to different demanding environments; - determine the most appropriate corrective measure for specific degradation modes.
