CBE 430 - Introduction to Polymer Science

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite(s): BE 223, CBE 231, CHEM 221, MEAM203, MSE 260, or equivalent course in thermodynamics or physical chemistry. Plastics, rubbers, proteins, epoxies, networks, and such are polymeric materials, because all of these materials have many ("poly") small repeat units ("mers") covalently bonded together. Polymers have unique physical properties and applications due to their considerable molecular size, numerous conformations and chemical variety. This course focuses on physical and chemical properties and applications of polymers in solution, the crystalline state, the glassy state, and the rubbery state. Class demonstrations and laboratory exercises. This introductory course is intended for a broad cross-section of science and engineering majors including bioengineers, chemical engineers, chemists, mechanical engineers and materials scientists.
