Course content
|
The content of the subject "Perspective materials for sustainability" is aimed at materials that meet high requirements for their use in combination with the resulting smaller burden on the environment. Materials with high efficiency, renewability, recyclability and energy utilization capabilities will be emphasized. The course will be structured into five areas of sustainable materials: 1) metal, 2) polymer, 3) ceramic, 4) composite and hybrid materials, 5) natural materials. Emphasis will be placed on specific contemporary information and knowledge of the physico-chemical properties of the given categories of materials with regard to their effectiveness and long-term sustainability. 1. Metals: metal materials with increased durability, recyclability of metals and their further use. Production and use of materials in environmental protection 2. Plastics: Energy balance of polymer production combined with polymer waste production, Toxicity of polymers and occurrence of microplastics in the ecosystem 3. Sustainable non-toxic polymers, Conductive polymers, Biodegradable polymers and substitutability of polymers by other materials 4. Ceramic materials Energy intensity of ceramic production and product lifetime, inorganic binders for energy saving 5. Composite and hybrid materials and their sustainability (balance of functionality and recyclability, self reinforced composites, smart hybrid systems 6. Advanced inorganic materials for environmental applications (photovoltaic, sensing) 7. Materials for high temperature applications (incl. TBC layers) or Advanced materials for energy with impact on circular economy 8. Cryogenic materials, materials suitable for aggressive external environments with potential for environmental impact 9. High-strength materials (incl. Al alloys, composites, etc.)/automotive materials, materials of the future with implications for sustainability and recyclability 10. Materials for additive manufacturing (metals and non-metals), new century materials, development and impact on environment and sustainability 11. Materials for tools, their reuse in relation to environmental implications 12. Functional materials prepared from natural raw materials, new emission-free technologies, new generation materials 13. Materials for hydrogen technologies and their environmental impact
