1029-504 - Polymer Characterization Laboratory

Institution:

Rochester Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

This course introduces, and gives the student experience with, analytical techniques commonly employed to characterize high polymers. To accomplish this, the course is divided into fi ve sections, each highlighting a particular characteristic of polymeric materials: 1) molecular weight distributions; 2) spectroscopic analysis of chemical structure; 3) thermal stability; 4) morphology and phase transitions, and 5) mechanical properties. The experiments, each requiring eight lab hours to complete, are designed to give students exposure to laboratory techniques not generally covered in undergraduate science/engineering curriculum. Although the documentation of experimental results is important, and will be evaluated, the main purpose is to give the student hands-on experience, hopefully piquing his/her interest in and enthusiasm for the fi eld.
