Course Overview

The Carbon Materials and Manufacturing Online Course is focused on the structure-property relationship and preparation of different carbon materials for the purpose of device manufacturing. The course contents are designed in a way that each type of carbon is taught in a “material-manufacturing pair”. All the topics will be covered, pertaining to the properties of various carbon allotropes, raw materials, carbon fibers and composites, carbon nanomaterials, crystallinity and hybridization, and bulk industrial carbons.

This course is mainly intended for the degree holders in advanced B.Tech./ M.Tech. M.E./ Ph.D. from materials/ manufacturing/energy sciences. The Carbon Materials and Manufacturing Training has high industrial relevance. Almost all the companies, manufacturing carbon materials and carbon-fiber composites will be beneficial for the students. This course is instructed by Prof. Swati Sharma (IIT Mandi). This is an FDP course approved by AICTE.
