3.00 Credits
Mechanical properties of polymer materials as related to polymer structure and composition. Visco-elastic behavior, yielding and fracture behavior including irreversible deformation processes. Recommended preparation: EMAC 276 and ENGR 200. Offered as EMAC 376 and EMAC 476.
-
3.00 Credits
Application of the principles of fluid mechanics, heat transfer and mass transfer to problems in polymer processing; elementary steps in polymer processing (handling of particulate solids, melting, pressurization and pumping, mixing); principles and procedures for extrusion, injection molding, reaction injection molding, secondary shaping. Recommended preparation: ENGR 225.
-
3.00 Credits
Uses material taught in previous and concurrent courses in an integrated fashion to solve polymer product design problems. Practicality, external requirements, economics, thermal/mechanical properties, processing and fabrication issues, decision making with uncertainty, and proposal and report preparation are all stressed. Several small exercises and one comprehensive process design project will be carried out by class members. Offered as EMAC 378 and EMAC 478.

1.00 - 18.00 Credits
(Credit as arranged.)
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
(Senior project). Research under the guidance of faculty. Requirements include periodic reporting of progress, plus a final oral presentation and written report. Repeatable up to 3 credit hours. When taken for 3 credits it may be spread over two successive semesters. Recommended preparation: Senior standing.
-
1.00 - 9.00 Credits
(Senior project.) Research under the guidance of staff, culminating in thesis. Recommended preparation: Majors only and senior standing.

0.00 Credits
This course will engage the Ph.D. students in teaching experiences that will include non-contact (such as preparation and grading of homeworks and tests) and direct contact (leading recitations and monitoring laboratory works, lectures and office hours) activities. The teaching experience will be conducted under the supervision of the faculty. All Ph.D. students will be expected to perform direct contact teaching during the course sequence. The proposed teaching experiences for EMAC Ph.D. students are outlined below in association with undergraduate classes. The individual assignments will depend on the specialization of the students. The activities include grading, recitation, lab supervision and guest lecturing. Recommended preparation: Ph.D. student in Macromolecular Science.
-
3.00 Credits
The class is an introduction to the synthesis and organic chemistry of macromolecules. The course introduces the most important polymerization reactions, focusing on their reaction mechanisms and kinetic aspects. Topics include free radical and ionic chain polymerization, condensation (step-growth) polymerization, ring-opening, insertion and controlled addition polymerization. The lecture portion of this course (2 credit hours) is integrated with a laboratory or term paper component (1 credit hour). There is no limit on the number of students for the class as a whole. However, there is a limit of 12 students on the laboratory component (other students will do term papers).
-
3.00 Credits
This class is an introduction to the physical chemistry of polymers in solution. Topics include: polymer statistics: (microstructure, chain configuration, and chain dimensions), thermodynamics and transport properties of polymers in solution, methods for molecular weight determination, physical chemistry of water-soluble polymers, and characterization of polymer microstructure (IR and NMR). The lecture portion of this course (2 credit hours) is integrated with a laboratory or term paper component (1 credit hour). There is no limit on the number of students for the class as a whole. However, there is a limit of 12 students on the laboratory component (other students will do term papers).
-
3.00 Credits
This class is an introduction to the physics of polymers in the bulk amorphous and crystalline states. Topics include: structural and morphological analysis using X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, characterization of thermal transitions, viscoelastic behavior and rubber elasticity, and dynamic mechanical analysis. The lecture portion of this course (2 credit hours) is integrated with a laboratory or term paper component (1 credit hour). There is no limit on the number of students for the class as a whole. However, there is a limit of 12 students on the laboratory component (other students will do term papers).
