Composite Materials

A study of the structure and properties of nonmetallic materials such as glasses, ceramics, and polymers. The crystal structure of ceramics, and the noncrystalline networks and chains of glasses and polymers, and the generation of microstructures and composites are considered. The physical and mechanical properties of glasses, ceramics, polymers, and composites, and their dependence on structure, are developed. Prerequisite: ENGN 0410
