Course program

Day 1 Theoretical classes

basic concepts in the field of composite materials
division and characteristics of plastics
chemical structure of polymers and the influence of chemical structure on their properties, with particular emphasis on chemically curing polymers
discussion of the chemistry of the crosslinking process of selected resins

Practical session

Producing a composite with manual lamination method using a gel coat, selected reinforcements and resins - discussion of the method
creating a multilayer composite by infusion - a discussion of the process
creation of a multilayer composite using a vacuum bag (vacuum bagging)

Day 2

Theoretical classes

division of reinforcing materials (disperse phase) - powder and fibrous reinforcements and their properties
influence of the polymer processing method on functional properties of composites
properties of composites - research methods allowing to assess the quality of the composite
fundamentals of composite materials manufacturing processes - methods: hand lamination, wet-up, spray up, infusion, vacuum bagging, LRTM, RTM, beam method, autoclave and non-autoclave processing of pre-impregnated materials, pultrusion, castings and other

Practical session

preparation of composite samples for mechanical tests
study of cross-linking processes - determination of gelation time, peak of exothermic cross-linking reaction
quality assessment of composites and gel coat coatings

Day 3

Practical session

testing of selected mechanical properties (resistance to bending, impact strength and hardness) of composites produced by the students on the first day of training
discussion on the issues proposed by the participants

Laboratory

Thanks to the cooperation with C-L company, our laboratory is equipped in specialized materials allowing for practical exercises of top quality, such as raisins, gelcoats & topcoats, reinforcements, fillers, core materials and production additives as well as necessary devices.

Our experts

Training sessions are carried out by industrial representatives and long-standing member of academic staff from units of higher education with considerable experience in implementation and repair projects. Our tutors work for large industrial plants solving technical problems and performing engineering tasks.

Intended for

This training is addressed to workers who want to gain or enhance their knowledge on plastics, their production and processing methods.

Training methods:

The main objective of the course is presenting basic theory related to plastics with a view to its practical application in the industry.

Benefits for participants

By the end of the course participants will be able to:

Use the fundamental terms in the field of plastics processing
Understand the basic theory presented during the course
Understand the necessity of respecting rules for machine exploitation
Know how to apply the acquired information in practical aspects of their work

Catering

In addition to the substantive aspect, the comfort of our training participants is very important to us. We provide students with a climatic cafe and restaurant space, which is a place for refreshments and relaxation during breaks. We invite you to use the coffee bar and the modern massage chair!

During each training day, participants receive:

Unlimited access to the Cechownia Cafe coffee bar, serving tea and high-quality freshly ground coffee. The bar is equipped with:
- NECTO Karisma - a professional espresso machine of Italian production.
- THERMOPLAN BW 4 - a professional espresso machine made in Switzerland.
These are coffee machines used in the best coffee shops. According to your taste, we serve unique types of coffee - Cappuccino, Espresso, Americano, Caffe Latte and Turkish coffee. Training participants can also use unlimited sparkling and still water, juices and sweets.

Two-course dinner - a combination of traditional, home-made flavors with meals served in restaurants.

Until 4:00 PM in the cafe on the first floor you can also buy fresh sandwiches, cakes, sweet and salty snacks and cold drinks. After training - from 4:00 PM - we invite you to try the delicious dishes of the Cechownia Restaurant, prepared by the best chefs in Gliwice.
