PLAS.4060 Polymer Structure, Properties and Applications (Formerly 26.406)
Id: 004173
Credits: 3-3
Description
The fundamental relationships between molecular structure, properties and end-use applications of plastics materials will be explored in detail. Molecular structural features include chemical composition, molecular size and flexibility, intermolecular order and bonding, and supermolecular structure. Properties include processability, mechanical, acoustic, thermal, electrical, optical and chemical properties, price, and balance of properties. Applications include rigid solids, flexible solids, foams, film and non-plastic applications.
Prerequisites
Pre-Req: 26.202 Polymeric Materials II.
