Overview
This course is designed for 3rd, 4th or final year students undertaking studies in the discipline of materials science to enhance knowledge and understanding of advanced ceramics (oxides and non-oxides) for structural, thermal, electrical, piezoelectric, magnetic, optoelectronic, chemical, nuclear, biological, and wear applications. The contents will focus on fabrication of … For more content click the Read More button below.
The design of these materials will be focused in terms of the fundamental structure-microstructure-property relationships and how these can be tailored through alteration of the processing conditions to fabricate optimal advanced ceramics while reducing chances of failure. This will be achieved through use of case studies and examples related to the design of these advanced ceramics for superior mechanical properties (strength, modulus, and toughness), electrical (dielectric, ferroelectric, piezoelectric), magnetic (ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic), electromechanical, optoelectronic, tribological (wear resistance), thermal (expansion, conductivity, heat capacity), thermomechanical (thermal shock, refractoriness), chemical (corrosive), nuclear (radiation resistance), and biological (bioaffinity).
