“principles and advanced processing of ceramics” focuses on the fundamental concepts and advanced processes of inorganic nonmetallic materials. It aims at leading students to master the relationship between the basic principles and the cutting-edge technology in the world, know about the development direction of advanced ceramics, have a solid foundation for the future research and development of new materials.
With the pursuit of new products with high performances, new technology is constantly updated. The development of new technology needs to followed the basic principle of materials. The importance understanding the effects of processing variables on the evolution of microstructural parameters should be emphasized. This course presents advanced processes of inorganic nonmetallic materials and interpret the basic principle underlying the behavior of materials. It aims at leading students to master the relationship between the basic principles and the cutting-edge technology in the world, know about the development direction of advanced ceramics, have a solid foundation for the future research and development of new materials. On successful completion of this course students will be able to: Master the latest process technology of ceramic materials involving semiconductors, microwave absorbing materials, permanent magnets, heat capacitors and thermal insulators. Comprehend fundamental theory concepts and apply them to analyze and improve processes of ceramics, finding relations between materials properties and relevant microstructural parameters on one side and to understand which process parameter changes a certain microstructural parameter on the other hand. develop a vocabulary for the description of the processes, properties and microstructures of ceramics. |
