brief description of the course in Estonian
Polümeermaterjalide liigitus, nende töötlemise üldine iseloomustus. Polümeermaterjalide põhilised töötlemisomadused ja põhitõed. Töötlemise ettevalmistavad protsessid ja seadmed: materjalide segamine lisanditega, granuleerimine ja purustamine. Kuumtöötlemise põhiprotsessid ja seadmed: ekstrusioon, survevalu, ekstrusioon-puhumine, survevalu-puhumine, rotovormimine, kalandreerimine, termovormimine ja pressvormimine, vedelpolümeeride valuvormimine. Polümeerkomposiidid ja nende töötlemismeetodid. Polümeertoodete mehaaniline töötlemine, keevitamine ja liimimine. Toodete konstrueerimise alused. Polümeermaterjalide töötlemise organiseerimise põhiküsimused.
brief description of the course in English
Classification of polymeric materials. General characterisation of their processing. Main processing properties of polymeric materials. Principles of forming of polymeric products. Preparing processes in manufacturing of polymeric products and their engineering: compounding of polymers with additional components, granulation and grinding for remoulding. Main heat-promoted forming processes and their engineering: extrusion, injection moulding, extrusion blow moulding, injection blow moulding, rotational moulding, calendering, compression moulding, thermoforming. Casting of liquid polymeric materials. Polymeric composites and their processing methods. Mechanical processing, welding and adhesive bonding of polymeric products. Basics of designing of polymeric products. Basic principles of organisation of manufacturing.
type of assessment in Estonian
Õppimise järjepidevus tagatakse kolme kontrolltöö sooritamisega semestri jooksul. Laboratoorsetele töödele eelneb teadmiste kontroll, tööde protokollide vastuvõtmine ning lõpuks kollokvium. Positiivsed sooritused on eelduseks eksamiks, kus kontrollitakse teoreetilisi teadmisi kirjalikus testi vormis. Soorituste osakaal lõpphindes:
kontrolltööd 3 × 20%,
kollokvium 20%,
eksamitest 20%
type of assessment in English
Continuity of study is guaranteed by the successful passing the three tests in term. Knowledge is controlled before the practical works and after works in estimation of reports. The positive outcomes are preconditions for final examination where the theoretical knowledge is controlled in written form. The parts in final mark:
tests 3 × 20%,
colloquium 20%,
examination 20%
independent study in Estonian
Loengute materjali ja õppekirjanduse läbitöötamine nelja kontrolltöö edukaks sooritamiseks, teoreetiline ettevalmistus ja laboratoorsete tööde protokollide vormistamine, referaatide ja suuliste ettekannete koostamine, rühmatöö ülesannete lahendamine.
independent study in English
The individual study of theoretical material given in lectures and textbook for the successful passing the tests. The compiling of reports of practical works, referative papers and oral presentations, solving the tasks of teamworks.
