- Understands scientific thinking, reasoning and explanation
Complementary knowledge
- The student is able to solve possible adhesion problems in different production processes and can predict functionality of materials in terms of adhesion at bonds.
- Contact angle measurements
- Specific surface treatment and modification methods (e.g. corona, flame, plasma, chemical modification (primers, adhesion promoters), peening)
- Numerical models for bond failure
Specialist knowledge
- DIfferent models of surface energy determination
- Surface treatment devices
- Nonlinearity of materials, dissipation (damage)
- Knows the risks associated with digital environments and takes them into account in his/her own actions
