    Semester : Semester I 2010/2011
    		injection molding

    Synopsis :

    This course introduces students to processing of thermoplastic and composite materials in general. Details fundamental of polymer processing such as extrusion and injection moulding will be emphasized. Element of product design will also be covered in this course. The course will further discuss and explain the preparation and manufacture of fibre reinforced polymer composites.

    Course Outcomes :

    By the end of the course, students should be able to:

    1. demonstrate the fundamental of polymer processing i.e. materials mixing
    2. examine the extrusion process, extruder components and types of extruder and analyze the flow theory, extrusion parameter and products defect.
    3. examine the injection moulding cycle, the major injection moulding components and analyze the products defect.
    4. outline the preparation, applications and type of fibre reinforcement.
    5. compare and classify the composite manufacturing processes.
    6. derive and calculate stress, strain and modulus for a given problem of unidirectional composite.
