The aim of this course is to explain the adhesive bonding on theoretical and practical level. Emphasis is placed primarily on the acquisition of skills needed for independently performing practical tasks in this area.
The course provides a fundamental understanding of the gluing technology. After successful completion of this course, the participants are able to carry out independent gluing work, as a true professional, in a technically responsible manner.
After successful completion of this course, the participants can draw up work instructions and lead executive activities, whereby the professionals can be assisted in technical and practical aspects.
After this course, the participants will be able to understand the special aspects of the gluing process and the know how of the gluing work. In addition, they will have a clear picture of the relevant coherence and importance of work instructions.
After the completion of this course, the participants will be able to give instructions to implementers of adhesive joints, prepare work instructions, contribute to quality assurance of the bonding process, provide planning, organisation and control of adhesive work, recognise deviations and know how to deal with them and, monitor and change process parameters of the bonding process.
The aim of this course is to provide the participants with an overview and insight into glues, the qualitative properties, the various areas of application and the associated processing processes.
During this course, participants will learn every information they need to know to make effective adhesive connections. They will also learn which are the different adhesives and properties.
After this course, the participants will be able to give instructions to implementers of adhesive joints, prepare work instructions, contribute to quality assurance of the bonding process, provide planning, organisation and control of adhesive work.
During this course, various welding methods are discussed such as hot gas welding, wire welding, extrusion welding, butt welding and mirror welding, socket welding, electrofusion, saddle welding and gluing plastic pipes.
The course provides a fundamental understanding of the materials science, bonding properties of substrates, curing mechanisms and processing properties, surface treatment, connection technology, quality management, test methods and aging.
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 aim of this course is to provide an understanding of the microstructure and properties of materials with particular reference to materials used in construction.
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.
The aim is to offer an insight into different adhesive systems, dispensing adhesives, surfaces treatments, cured adhesives, designing with bonded joints, mechanical testing of bonded joints, durability and accelerated ageing and, quality control.
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.
