Fertigkeiten Kenntnisse
(*)- to prepare samples/specimen and to run experiments on an UVVISNIR spectrophotometer, an Infrared microscope, a rheometer or universal and fatigue test systems for advanced mechanical and fracture mechanics testing (k3).

• to reduce multi-point data to single-point values such as haze, UV cut-off, solar reflectance index, gelation time or temperature, local modulus and Poisson ratio or the threshold strain energy release rate (k3)

• to identify the morphology of polymer blends or multi-layer films (k3)

• to differentiate plastics and to establish structure/property correlations (k4)

- to systematically compile, present and discuss experimental results in a team of 4 to 6 students (k5)

(*)In accordance with the associated lectures Polymeric Materials 3 (Polymer Mechanics and Fracture Mechanics) and Polymeric Materials 4 (Functional Polymeric Materials) the main topics of the lab course are:

  • Quasistatic plane-strain fracture toughness and strain energy release rate testing of plastic materials
  • Fatigue testing of polymeric materials under cyclic loading
  • Essential work of fracture testing of polymeric films and sheets
  • Advanced tensile testing – Strain determination of plastic materials using digital image correlation
  • Advanced microscopic characterization of multi-phase and multi-layer films and laminates
  • Spectrophotometric characterization of polymeric films and sheets in the solar and heat radiation range
