Overview
What you will learn
This Sustainable Composites Manufacturing and Industrial Applications course offered by Cranfield University will cover recycling of carbon/glass fibre composites for sustainable composites and life cycle analysis of conventional glass/carbon fibre composites.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Rationale for use of sustainable composites – the environmental impact of use on non-renewable composites.
- Fibres and resins: origins and mechanical properties.
- Manufacturing challenges: surface modification of natural fibres; design guidelines and case studies; general manufacturing processes for sustainable fibre reinforced composites.
- Composite manufacture: using strong regenerated/reconstituted cellulose/biomass; sandwich panels production from bio-composites for industrial use.
- Overview and understanding of flammability of bio/sustainable composites.
- Natural materials based flame retardants
- Replacement of synthetic/halogenated flame retardant with natural flame retardants (Bolton Fire Research Group contribution)
