Basic Knowledge of Plastics Technology

In this seminar you will become familiar with the basics of plastics technology and the material plastic, its structures, properties and special processing features, and you will learn the essential knowledge for the successful use of thermoplastics, duroplastics and elastomers in components. In the first part of the seminar, you will learn the well-founded basics of the structure and composition of different polymer classes that influence the macroscopic application properties in the .. continue reading component. In addition, the basics of the various manufacturing processes and, in accordance with the large industrial penetration, in particular the production of thermoplastic components in plastics technology are taught. The second part of the seminar focuses on the various characteristic properties of concrete material systems from the area of ​​standard thermoplastics, technical and high-performance thermoplastics as well as elastomers and fiber-reinforced duroplastics. Here, practical plastics with their special properties as well as advantages and disadvantages are clearly discussed. You will also develop the basic manufacturing processes for elastomer and duroplastic components, which differ significantly from thermoplastic processing.
