1029-503 - Polymer Chemistry:Properties of Bulk Materials

Institution:

Rochester Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

This course is designed to give the student with a chemistry or materials science background a thorough grounding in the main concepts that describe bulk polymer structure, behavior and properties. The course follows a synthetic path; the structure property relationships for polymeric materials are built up from a microscopic to a macroscopic level. One of the most important lessons of the course is that polymers are almost never in a thermodynamically stable state. Consequently, the behavior of polymers and the properties they display are time dependent and vary with the thermo-mechanical history of the materials. (1029-501, 502) Class 4, Credit 4 ( F-X*)
