Learning outcomes of the subject
- The student will know the different physical and chemical characterization techniques (wet route) and the standardized techniques that are specific to the definition of raw materials, precursors, semi-finished products and finished products.- The student will know the spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques for the characterization of these materials, their additives and the bonding and finishing products.
- The student will know the thermal techniques for the characterization of precursors, semi-finished products, finished products and the assessment of the characteristics of the reactions that lead to their formation or degradation.
- The student will know the rheological techniques for the characterization of precursors, semi-finished products and finished materials, as well as for auxiliaries and modifiers that are used for aesthetic or protective purposes.
- The student will know the visual, microscopic, optical and electronic techniques for the characterization of precursors, semi-finished products and constituent finishes of plastic materials and composites, their additives and bonding and finishing products, as well as for the characterization and diagnosis of failure.
- The student will know the mechanical techniques for the characterization of plastic materials and composites, their unions and assemblies.
- The student will understand some of the classic END-NDT techniques for materials inspection.
- The student will understand some techniques for characterizing tests for Weather Resistance and Reaction to Fire, proper for the characterization and qualification of plastic materials and composites.
- The student will know the ways of collecting scientific-technical information, analyze it and select it critically.
- The student will know the different ways of transmitting scientific and technical information orally and writing, in a coherent way. Being able to make an assessment of the risks that certain characterization techniques can entail, both from the point of view of Safety and Hygiene and the Environmental Impact.
