Beschrijving
In this micro-credential, you will explore the fundamental techniques for thermal analysis. From differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis to dynamic mechanical analysis, this program offers comprehensive insights into each of these techniques. You will learn about measurement principles, instrumentation, calibration, measurement protocols and conditions, and how to interpret results.
Within these topics, you will study various types of materials, transitions, and transformations. The strengths and weaknesses of the techniques will be discussed, along with opportunities to enhance measurements (such as sensitivity and resolution), common errors, and advanced applications such as kinetic analyses and time-temperature superposition.
Depending on participants' interests and needs, the program also provides opportunities to explore more advanced techniques. These may include modulated temperature DSC, microcalorimetry, rapid heat cool DSC, chip-based nanocalorimetry, the connection between DMA and dynamic rheometry, dielectric analysis (DEA), and micro- and nano-thermal analysis using AFM with thermal probes.
The course in the program account for a total of 3 ECTS credits. One ECTS credit corresponds to approximately 25 to 30 hours of study, including attending lectures, working on projects, and independent study.
The course is scheduled for the second semester.
An academic bachelor's degree in engineering sciences
A strong interest in the field of thermal analysis
This program takes place at the VUB Main Campus in Etterbeek.
This program is taught in English.
This micro-credential is exclusively offered in daytime classes.
Micro-credentials
Micro-credentials zijn kortdurende opleidingen met enkele vakken, uitgedrukt in studiepunten (ECTS-credits). Wil je nieuwe, aanvullende competenties verwerven? Ben je op zoek naar actualisatie? Heb je nood aan een bijkomende vorming? Dan zijn deze kortdurende opleidingen misschien wel iets voor jou.
In het kader van Levenslang Leren behoren deze micro-credentials vanaf het academiejaar 2021-2022 tot het studieaanbod. Je kan ze volgen in het 1ste of het 2de semester, in het Nederlands of Engels (naargelang het specifieke aanbod). Na het behalen van de micro-credential ontvang je een getuigschrift.
