Learning Outcomes
Student is able to explain the formation of fibres from polymers and their blends. Student is able to explain the functional differences of conventional and high technology fibres, and apply and represent their end-uses. Student is able to explain the high technolgy manufacturing processes of functional, heat resistant, super fine, and nano-scale fibres, and evaluate their end-use possibilities. Student is able to identify the behaviour of liquid crystal polymers, and explain and compare the properties of conductive, fire retardant, phase change, shape memory, and chromatic polymers, and super-fine fibres. Student is able to evaluate and compare the manufacturing processes, properties, and end-uses of carbon and glass fibres made from different raw materials.
