THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING
Course objectives
The present course will provide the engineering students with the fundamental principles that govern structure-processing-properties interrelationships in a variety of different materials classes from polymers to ceramics. Upon completion of this course, the engineering student will be able to: (i) understand how engineering structure, from multiple length scales, influences properties; (ii) understand how a materials’ structure can be engineered and exploited by changing processing parameters and techniques; (iii) perform multifunctional characterizations of manufactured nanostructured materials.

- Introduction to the properties of nanocomposite materials with polymeric, ceramic, and metallic matrices: role of nanoscale reinforcements, reinforcement–matrix interface, types of reinforcements, reinforcement mechanisms, examples and properties of nanocomposite materials.
- Fabrication processes for ceramic, metallic, and polymer matrix nanocomposites.
- Examples of laboratory-scale production of bulk nanocomposite materials.
- Characterization techniques for bulk nanocomposite materials produced in the laboratory:
morphological analysis through metallographic sample preparation and subsequent investigation by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).
- Mechanical characterization: laboratory testing of the mechanical properties of the produced materials.
