CHEG 380 Introduction To Polymer Science and Engineering
This course aims to develop a thorough understanding about polymeric materials including a description of basic organic chemistry reactions supporting polymerization. Routes to characterize polymers in terms of molecular weight and molecular weight distribution are presented. Also, rheological and visco-elasto-plastic properties related to microstructure and thermomechanical behavior are discussed to establish structure-property relationships. The prevalence of polymer processing techniques in various industries is included.
