These materials are considered to be engineering materials therefore their mechanical properties are of paramount importance, both in terms of ensuring those products perform in an acceptable manner and also have the required service lifetime. Therefore, it is essential that those physical properties are controlled through an appropriate and effective specification.Further information >
A one-day course that will cover the opportunities and constraints of forming processes: hard-throwing, jiggering, roller-head making, ram pressing, granulate pressing, slip casting and pressure castingFull information >
The role of plastic and rubber materials in engineering applications is becoming more demanding. Light weighting and metal replacement put higher stress on polymers. Extreme temperatures and chemical environments can also have dramatic effects on the long term behaviour of the materials. This course aims to give an overview of the long-term properties of plastics and rubber and how to take account of this behaviour in design and testing.Further information >

Rubber materials find uses in many engineering applications where reliable and consistent performance is critically important. The failure of such materials can often have damaging and expensive consequences, therefore understanding the cause can assist in rectifying the issue, limiting the damage and avoiding future failures.Further information >
