DURABLE MATERIALS AND MULTIFUNCTIONAL COATINGS

The course “Durable Materials and Multifunctional Coatings” will focus on the following contents:

• Eco design of durable, efficient and ecological materials – Chemical Engineering to protect materials;
• Elaboration and recycling of materials / Description of the different classes of composite materials with a polymeric, metallic, glass and ceramic matrix;
• Presentation of reinforcement mechanisms;
• Presentation of manufacturing techniques for different composite materials and their characteristics;
• Examples of applications and case studies;
• Multifunctional coating (antibacterial, self-cleaning,…).

Students will be able to:

• Set up a protection strategy by implementing a deposit adapted to industrial specifications;
• Propose a set of tailor-made coatings development processes, using an eco-design methodology.

The content of the course consists of five units:

1. Eco design of durable, efficient and ecological materials – Chemical Engineering to protect materials
2. Elaboration and recycling of materials / Different classes of composite materials with a polymeric, metallic, glass and ceramic matrix
