Irena Živković

The University of Arts, Faculty of Applied Arts

Erasmus+ Mobility for Teaching at:

Technical University in Graz, Austria

Institute for Architecture and Media, Faculty for Architecture

During the mobility, lectures were held for doctoral and master’s students with the following topics:
Materials Science and Engineering- Introduction
Materials classification by the type of chemical bonds and Functional properties
Composite materials – Introduction
Composite materials – Mechanical and structural applications
Composite materials – Design and structural applications
Composite materials – Ballistic application
Composite materials – Smart materials application
Nanocomposites
Electrospinning
Self-healing Materials

Also, consultations were held with the students on the topics of master’s and doctoral theses from the following area:
PE/terracotta sandwich structure – Marcus Bartaky
Alginate sound insulation membranes – Dominik Hemmel
Composites with alginate matrix and natural fiber reinforcement – Martina Hausegger
Waste paper/starch composites with different coatings – Nera Dzanić
Hemp waste as reinforcement in clay matrix – Michael Schollauf
Alginate/TiO₂ nanoparticle composite fibers – Kristian Ristoski
3D printed brick with thermal insulation geometry – Giullia Cipriani
Coextrusion of polyamide fibers with a ceramic coating – Julijan Jauk

Sound conductivity measurements were also made for bio-composite materials produced in Belgrade by myself, and samples were prepared for measuring tensile strength, as well as for viscoelastic properties.

Mobility was very productive with clearly visible results.
