Matériaux polymères et compositesMatériaux (GSI)

Learn about composite materials and polymers and discover their implementation processes.

I – Composite materials:

1. composite materials with organic matrix

• Presentation and generality
• interests and weaknesses of these materials
• the various reinforcements
• different thermohardening matrices (and their cross-linking mechanisms) and different thermoplastic matrices
• & Adjuvant Expenses
• property
• semi-produced

2. current major applications

• in Aeronautics
• Aerospace
• in the naval
• in sport

3. implementation processes

• economic aspects
• Wet implementation
  (Contact moulding, Projection moulding, Vacuum moulding, Infusion moulding, GTR moulding, R-RIM and S-RIM moulding, Pultrusion, Filament winding, Pullwinding, centrifugation)
• Dry implementation (Autoclavation, Compression moulding (BMC/SMC/ZMC), TPR injection, Forming of TRE plates)

4. thermostructural composites

II - Polymer materials:

1. Thermoplastics and thermohardeners

• Definitions and ownership
• the 3 structural scales
• Stereoregularity
• Copolymers
• Polymerization reactions and cross-linking reactions

2. Implementation processes:

• Injection
• Thermoforming
• Different extrusion (fig, inflation, blowing,...)
• Rotomoulding
• Trempé
• Assembly techniques
• RIM
• Compression moulding
