Plastic structure - molecular structure, supramolecular structure. 6. Thermoplastic material. Polyethylene, polypropylene, polymers, polyacrylates, polyesters, polyamides. 7. Thermosetting plastic. Phenolic resins, epoxides, rubber. 8. Liquid crystals - properties and use. Quasi crystals - use in electrical engineering. 9. Macromolecule substances, plastic material - properties and plastic designation, cellulose plastic material, curable resins, elastomers, silicones. 10. Technological plastic material processing - pressing, working, welding and applications in the automotive industry. Health risks in the use of plastic material in manufacturing processes. 11. Basic terminology of limit material state in a structure. Deformation - stress states in materials. 12. Experimental, computing and knowledge modelling. 13.

Learning outcomes
Further to the basic knowledge achieved in "Technological Materials", different methods of metal and plastic processing, as well as the use of new technologies, is an important issue, since they are experiencing rapid development. Structural designs of specific elements or units are supported by computer technology using modelling. Students must have an idea of the computer technology support instruments and their credibility in resolving structural problems.

Prerequisites
Students acquire basic knowledge and the nature of the manufacturing engineering technologies especially in the field of foundry and plastics processing. They will gain a comprehensive knowledge of how to produce the necessary metal materials (alloys) with the required properties and possibilities of casting simulation programs.
