Polymer Science and Additive Manufacturing

Catalog description

Presents the mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of polymers concerning the underlying physics and physical chemistry of polymers in the melt, solution and solid-state used in traditional processing or additive manufacturing. Topics include conformation and molecular dimensions of polymer chains in solutions, melts, blends and block copolymers; an examination of the structure of glassy, crystalline and rubbery elastic states of polymers; thermodynamics of polymer solutions, blends, crystallization; nanocomposites; mechanical, thermal and electrical properties in polymeric materials; lab or simulation sessions in 3d printing.
