COURSE ON COMPOSITE MATERIALS AND PROCESSING TECHNOLOGIES

New course on composite materials, organized by our member CSMT Innovation Hub with faculty from theUniversity of Brescia, with focus on polymer matrix materials reinforced with glass, carbon or aramid fibers (continuous or discontinuous) and micro- and nano-metric particles.

Composite materials combine light weight with high mechanical and functional performance through a simple principle: improving the properties of a matrix by adding reinforcing fibers or particles.

Composites with continuous fibers represent excellent solutions for lightweight and strong structures, while short fibers and particulate fillers have expanded the field of reinforced plastics, capable of withstanding high loads and withstanding critical temperatures and environments. By varying the type and amount of reinforcement, material properties can be modulated for specific applications.

This course provides an overview of composite materials, particularly those with a polymer matrix reinforced with glass, carbon or aramid fibers (continuous or discontinuous) and micro- and nano-metric particles. It integrates theoretical moments and application elements, illustrating the laws governing mechanical reinforcement and property modulation strategies, along with the main processing technologies. Finally, the most recent developments in the field, oriented toward the use of new fibers, matrices and sustainable solutions, will be analyzed.

The course will be held in the classroom at CSMT headquarters at 45 Branze Street in Brescia on July 21, 2026 from 9:00 am for a duration of 8h. Below is the link to the webpage: CSMT Composite Materials and Processing Technologies
