Topics in Polymer Technology - CEIC8104 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description This subject is designed for postgraduate chemical engineering students who
wish to gain a general understanding of polymerization processes. Particular emphasis is given to free-radical (co)polymerization processes, their reactions, basic kinetics and industrial applications. The course will also address polymer characterization techniques ranging from chromatography to mass spectrometry. In addition, novel living methods of free-radical polymerization will be discussed. The material may be augmented with lab visits, demonstrations, and industry visits. A large research assignment, e.g. a review of current literature material, including an oral presentation is part of the assessment. |
