CONTENT

The Polymer Processes/Engineering Fundamentals course will to provide undergraduate and graduate students in materials and manufacturing engineering programs to learn about the structure- property relationships of thermoplastic polymers as well as process methods. Within the scope of the course, basic information about polymer morphology and rheology will be given and by using this information, they will learn about the basics of melt mixture preparation, extrusion, and molding techniques such as injection, thermoforming, rotational molding, pressure molding and calendering processes. Rubber materials and processes will also be explained within the scope of the course.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Develop an understanding of basic concepts in polymer engineering
  • Introduce basic material properties (ie physical, thermal, rheological, or mechanical) that affect structure-property relationships during and after processing of polymers.
  • Basic understanding of the properties of major polymer groups as well as elements of material selection and part design
  • Develop an understanding of polymer processing methods and structure development.
