Rheology and fluid mechanics

This course is an introduction to the rheology of linear viscoelastic solids, and to fluid flow and methods used in rheology of fluids. Various types of fluids and phenomena are considered with various exemples, Newtonian or non-newtonian liquids, turbulence, reactive systems and suspensions.

Towards sustainable materials

This course will address and model key sustainability issues through an engineering lens. It will examine emerging materials, hard to abate, and critical materials used to manufacture items in our economy during the transition to NetZero targets and their environmental, societal, and human impacts.

Science and technology of UV-induced polymerization

The course presents the main classes of photopolymers and key factors which control photopolymerization. It explains how to select the right formulation and optimize processes for a given application. Standard and novel characterization methods, new materials and new applications are also presented.
