Learning outcomes
|
The course objective is to meet the students with the relations between polymeric structure and relevant properties. Factors influencing the structure of polymers are dealt with in detail, and also the influence of structure on their heat resistance, resistance against ageing and chemicals, on electric properties, transport events and optical properties of polymers. Properties and dissolving capacity of polymers are discussed separately.
Students will acquire detailed information about relations between structure, chemical and physical properties of major thermo-plastic and thermosetting polymers.
