Course content
- Application of physical laws to the description of technological processes of processing thermoplastics and reactive plastics - continuum mechanics, thermodynamics, thermokinetics and equations of state, energy balance, heat sharing (by conduction, flow and radiation). - Optimization of processing processes with regard to the required useful properties of the final products - mixing of miscible and immiscible liquid systems, dispersion and distribution of solid particles in polymer melts and solutions, stabilization of multilayer extruded and blown products, stabilization of the preparation of fibers and non-woven textiles, orientation of fibers, foils and of extruded profiles, multi-component injection molding and water/gas assisted injection molding, preparation of physically lightened profiles and injection molded parts, 3D printing from filaments (FDM), solutions (SLA) and powders (SLS), separation of fillers during the injection of highly filled systems (PIM), controlled and uncontrolled degradation of polymer matrices, sintering of fillers and polymer materials. - Optimization of additional technological procedures following the processing processes used - surface activation with high-energy technologies, painting, printing and other surface treatments, welding, gluing and other mechanical joining. - Modeling and computer simulation of processing processes using commercially available software - extrusion, foil blowing, extrusion blowing, thermoforming, injection molding.
