Advanced Nanocomposites

Module code: EMS730U

Credits: 15.0
Semester: SEM2

Contact: Dr Maria Romero Gonzalez

This module will explore the role of advanced nanocomposites in modern engineering. It will cover the micromechanics of these materials with a particular focus on particulate micromechanics and the role of the filler shape, size and morphology. A widerange of nanomaterials will be introduced, and methods for manufacturing these nanocomposites will be explored. Nanocomposites have a huge range of applications, and this module will explore advanced nanocomposites for (i) mechanical and structural applications; (ii) electrical applications; (iii) thermal applications; (iv) barrier membrane applications.
