Polymer Materials
Printed in the catalogue as POLYMER MATERIALS
Course content
Relationships between structure, properties and processing of polymer materials. Effects of compounding, reinforcing and processing on the behavior of three basic classes of polymers; thermoplastics, thermosets and elastomers. Polymer blends and composites. Materials selection during design of polymer components for strength, stiffness, toughness, resistance to fatigue, creep, and hostile environments. Comprehensive comparison of the behavior of polymer materials with metals and ceramics.
