On successful completion of this unit the student will have an understanding of the microstructure and properties of building materials and their practical advantages and limits.

The research on this subject is driven through a material-by-design approach relying on the formulation of a set of requirements in terms of performances and constraints, based on which the best material solution is sought. 

This course aims to provide students with a fundamental understanding of adhesion mechanisms of organic material to solid surfaces. Furthermore, the physico-chemical interactions will be related to engineering applications.

This course highlights how the properties of a material are affected by how people process it and how materials with extraordinary properties have been developed. The course is a balance of lecture-style delivery and practical work.

The course qualifies practical users of adhesive technology to create bonds independently and professionally.

The participants will become trained for using adhesive bonding technology in industrial production, for product development and supervision of bonding personnel.

Theoretical and practical course for operators which carrying out adhesive bonding works. The course satisfies the technical requirements by DIN 6701 standard and issuing the EAB Diploma according to the European Welding Federation Guideline 515.
