Department:
Technical Sciences
Course Leader:
conf.dr.arh. Gabriela Mindu
Learning outcomes:
The course offers to the future specialists in surface finishing activity the physico chemical base knowledge about interfaces, about material’s compatibility. Tehere are presented the principles of the main importante integrated systems in coatings formation from suport’s surface preparation to coatings characterization.
Content:
Lectures:

1 Introduction in surface’s science: surface termodynamics, superficial tension
2 Coatings: definition, classification, thermodynamic consideration about material’s compatibility
3 General properties of the coatings
4 Metallic Surface preparation prior coatings deposition
5 Plastic and wood surface preparation prior coatings deposition
6 Electrochemical deposition of the metals.
7 Chemical deposition of the metals on non conducting support
8 Polymeric systems used for organic coatings: resins, additives, solvents
9 The main group of natural and synthetic resins, properties
10 Pigmets in organic coatings
11 Nanocomposite hybrid systems in surface finishing
12 Classic systems and modern technologies in wood surface finishing
13 The influence of deposition technology on coating’s properties
14 Modern methods for coatings characterization
Teaching Method:
Theoretical course - classroom + projection equipment + construction materials from the department's collection
Practical course (A synthesis study will be developed in teams of 4-5 students) - workshop + projection equipment + materials
Assessment:
A synthesis study will be developed in teams of 4-5 students.
Credits are calculated as follows:
10% - Automatic points (base score)
70% - Summative assessment: Face-to-face exam, taken both individually and as a team, based on a study prepared and submitted (in both digital and physical formats).
20% - Attendance at the course's practical activities and personal contribution, both qualitative and quantitative, to the synthesis study.
