CHEM 853 - Polymer Properties

Institution:

Wichita State University

Subject:

Chemistry

Description:

Polymer Properties Kinetics and thermodynamics of the crystallization process and the influence of sample history on the gross morphology of the crystallites. Structural features which preclude the development of polymer crystals and encourage amorphous character, relationships between structure, Tm and Tg, theoretical strengths of materials, the time dependent mechanical behavior of polymers, and the Maxwell and Voigt models of viscoelasticity. The Boltzman superposition principle and how it can be used to predict creep behavior, mechanisms of deformation, yielding and fracture in polymers.
