learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Kursuse läbinud õppurid:
1) Tunnevad enamlevinud tööstuslikke polümeermaterjale: termoplaste, elastomeere ja termosette.
2) Mõistavad polümeeridele ainuomast füüsikalist ja reoloogilist käitumist nende töötlemisel, vastavaid erinõudeid ja tingimusi.
3) Tunnevad tööstuses kasutatavaid võtteid polümeeride töödeldavuse ning termilise stabiilsuse tagamiseks ning töötlusprotsesside ettevalmistavaid meetodeid.
4) Tunnevad põhilisi plastitöötlusmeetodeid vastavaid seadmeid.
5) Suudavad eelneva põhjal valida plasttoodete valmistamiseks sobivad materjalid ning tehnoloogiad.
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
Upon completion of this course, the students:
1) Know most common polymeric materials as thermoplastics, elastomers and thermosets.
2) Understand unique physical and rheological behaviour of polymers during processing, corresponding special conditions and requirements.
3) Know industrial methods for providing processability and thermal stability of polymers, also know preparative processes.
4) Know the most important methods and instrumentation of plastics processing.
5) By the previous knowledge students can select suitable materials and methods for given plastic product.
brief description of the course in Estonian
Antaks ülevaade enamlevinud tööstuslikest polümeermaterjalidest ja nende lisa- ning abiainetest, mis garanteerivad hea töödeldavuse, materjali stabiilsuse ning soovitud füüsikalised omadused. Selgitatakse reoloogia olulisust plastitööstuses ja kuidas seda teadmist tootmise kavandamisel rakendada. Tutvustatakse olulisemaid ettevalmistusprotsesse: purustamist ja kuivatamist, segamist ja kompaundimist. Käsitletakse enamlevinud, olulisemaid plastitöötlusmeetodeid nagu ekstrusioon, survevalu, ekstrusioon-puhumine, rotatsioonvalu, termovormimine. Tutvustatakse vastavaid seadmeid ning olulisemaid töötlemisparameetreid.
brief description of the course in English
Overview of the most common industrial polymeric materials is presented and overview of additives which provide good processability, stability and physical properties is given. Importance of rheology in plastics industry is presented and its implementation in production design is introduced. The most important preparative processes as milling, drying, blending and compounding are presented. The most common and important plastics processing technologies as extrusion, injection moulding, blow-moulding, rotational moulding and thermoforming are introduced with corresponding machinery and most important processing parameters.
