The lecture course “ADVANCED POWDER TECHNOLOGIES” is based on practical R&D experience of nanostructured materials from their synthesis to consolidation. The main principles of material structure engineering are considered. Examples of the application of modern technologies like Spark-plasma sintering, Microwave sintering, and Rate-controlled sintering for manufacturing of bulk nanostructured materials of various functional purposes are given.

Necessary knowledge

knowledge of physics of continuous media, mechanics of materials, physical chemistry and materials science, obtained during the acquisition of a bachelor's or master’s degree.

Acquired skills

- knowledge of approaches to the processing of nanomaterials, possess conceptual and methodological knowledge in the field of materials science and be able to use them for professional activities on the border of subject areas.

- ability to integrate existing powder technologies to processing for ceramic materials and design the materials structure to enhance their properties.
