EMAC 416 - Polymers Plus Applied Rheology and Processing

Institution:

Case Western Reserve University

Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on the applications of Rheology to Polymer Engineering in general and processing technologies in particular. It starts with a general review of rheological concepts, including viscoelasticity and continues with the influence of shear rate, temperature, and pressure on the rheological properties. Next, the role of Rheology in support of polymer processing, including effects and defects of rheological origin will be analyzed; here the focus will be on the most common processing techniques - extrusion, injection molding, blow-molding, and thermoforming. Finally, there will be a brief introduction of the role of Rheology in the structural characterization of polymeric materials. Prereq: EMAC 376 or graduate standing.
