Industrial Applications Of Advanced Materials

Aim
    To provide you with an overview of the mechanical and physical behaviours exhibited by advanced materials, and to relate these to the use of these materials in industry and on future industrial applications.
Syllabus

    Mechanics of materials – strength, stiffness, hardness, corrosion, fatigue.

    Comparison across all material classes (metals, ceramics, polymers

    Impact of processing and microstructure (manufacturing routes)

    Functional properties of materials including thermal electric magnetic, optical, biocompatibility.

    Requirements and applications for emerging materials in ICT, energy and mobility, life sciences, healthcare, cosmetics, food, consumer goods, and manufacturing.

    Industrial cases studies demonstrating how and where these materials have been applied in real life applications.

    Sustainability implications of materials selection regarding effects on processing, usage and end-of-life in the context of energy, environmental hazards, labour, recycling, etc with a link to UNSDGs

Intended learning outcomes

On successful completion of this module you should be able to:

  1. Discuss the mechanical and physical behaviour of advanced materials that allow the exhibiting of unique properties.
  2. Analyse the suitability of various classes of advanced materials, including metals, glasses, polymers, and ceramics, for industrial applications. 
  3. Examine industrial case studies to demonstrate how advanced materials improve performance. 
  4. Evaluate the implications of using these materials and their manufacturing for components on current and future applications across various sectors.
