If our standard courses are not quite right for you, don’t worry! We offer bespoke packages in which we can tailor the course content, duration and location to suit your specific requirements.

Modules

The following are examples of modules which, in addition to those from our 1-Day Course, can be included, mixing and matching to tailor content:

Module

Introduction to thermoplastic composites

Interest in thermoplastic composites is growing. They now offer real alternatives to traditional thermoset-based composites which rely on an irreversible and generally slow cure cycles. In contrast, thermoplastic composites can utilise very fast thermoforming manufacturing processes and can be re-shaped upon the application of heat. This opens-up manufacturing, reuse and recycling options that are not open to thermosets. In addition they can offer impact-resistance and weight-saving advantages. This module provides an introduction to thermoplastic matrix composites, including the materials commonly used, the formats of those materials and the methods of processing them.

Module

Introduction to nanocomposites

The addition of small quantities of nanoscale particulates, such as nanoclays, carbon nanotubes, nanographite and graphene can be an effective means of modifying the properties of a polymer matrix composite. Mechanical properties, thermal properties, electrical properties and fire performance can all be enhanced through the selective addition of nanoparticles. However, this is an emerging technical area and challenges remain, particularly in terms of ensuring uniform nanoparticulate dispersion in up-scaled composite manufacturing. This module provides an introduction to nanocomposites, including the materials, their processing and the achievable improvements in performance. It is aimed at people who already have a basic understanding or polymer composite materials.
