Fiber-reinforced plastics/composites are extremely heterogeneous, both in terms of their composition and their range of applications. In recent decades, these materials have been used in a large number of very different areas and applications. The possible processing methods are just as varied as the composition. The seminar provides an overview of today's areas of application ... Read more
The diversity of fiber-reinforced plastics in terms of material composition, processing technologies and requirements for the final components requires a broad-based quality assurance system. This system ranges from the inspection of raw materials and process control to the destructive or non-destructive inspection of end products. The seminar provides an overview of various test methods for ... Read more
Fiber-reinforced thermoplastics are becoming increasingly important for numerous industrial applications - from the automotive industry to aerospace and construction. Their combination of high strength, low weight and good recyclability makes them a key material for sustainable and efficient lightweight structures. At the same time, thermoplastic matrices open up new production methods, shorter cycle times and ... Read more
In the manufacture of glass-fiber-reinforced plastics, a matrix material (plastic) is processed with suitable glass fibers as a reinforcing material. This results in high-strength materials that are used in a wide variety of industrial sectors. The winding and pultrusion processes allow glass fibers to be incorporated both in directions specifically specified by the designer and ... Read more
