This is a required course for the Chemical and Petrochemical Engineering Program.
Course Description:
Composite materials are materials comprising two or more material phases with different physical properties. Because
they usually exhibit remarkable physical properties, in general superior to the properties of their individual
components, they appear pervasively in engineering applications (e.g., reinforced concrete in construction, fiber-
reinforced materials for aircraft structures, reinforced rubber in car tires, …). Despite being comprised multiple
material phases with different physical properties, these materials may be considered for practical purposes as
homogeneous materials with physical material-like effective properties.
