Technology of modern composite materials with carbon fillers

The course will help train specialists in the field of processing of hydrocarbon raw materials, creating effective chemical means for protecting agricultural plants and animals, new materials, including advanced alloys (superalloys), advanced polymers, advanced composite materials, advanced ceramic materials, metal powders and metal-powder compositions, and metamaterials.

The purpose of the course is to provide students with knowledge about modern technologies and methods for using composite materials with carbon fillers and their application in various industries.

Composite materials with carbon fillers allow you to make innovative technical decisions and create products, helping consumers in all industries to make their production more reliable, safe, cost-effective and competitive.

The entire course is designed for 4 weeks. As part of this course, the following subsections will be available to you: 

• Video-lectures. Each topic of the module contains one or several video lectures that reveal the topic.  
• Self-study materials (lecture notes, lecture presentations)
• Tests. You'll have 4 obligatory tests, selfchecking tests and final exam test.
