Polymer Materials (PM)5 ECTS
(englische Bezeichnung: Polymer Materials)
(Prüfungsordnungsmodul: Polymer Materials)

Lectures:

• • Polymer Materials (PM)
    (Vorlesung, 2 SWS, Dirk W. Schubert et al., Tue, 14:15 - 15:45, T 0.75; Egerlandstraße 3; Chemische Reaktionstechnik)

Inhalt:

The lecture provides an introduction into Polymer Science and Engineering and broad overview of the field. The following topics will be introduced: • macromolecules: Definition and special characteristics of macromolecules; types of polymers and classifications, special polymer classes • polymer synthesis: step and chain growth, living polymerization, network formation, ionic polymerization • polymer thermodynamics: conformation of macromolecules in dissolved state and melt; thermodynamics of mixing, phase separation • characterization of polymers: Determination of molecular weight, rheological properties and chemical functionalities • polymers in solid state: semicrystalline materials, amorphous materials, elastomers • polymer processing: Introduction in relevant fabrication processes (extrusion, injection moulding, …)
