Competency aims

The aim of the course is to give the student the
ability to understand how polymer materials react
when they are exposed, processed and used in
different environments.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student is
expected to be able to:
-understand how molecules in a polymer are
formed by polymerization
-understand the properties of the chain
molecule in terms of structure, length, form,
mobility, and interactions with neighboring
chain molecules
-Explain polymer properties such as cohesion,
adhesion, solubility and compatibility
according to functional groups and secondary
bonds

Course contents

Lectures and exercises on nomenclature, structure,
molecular weight, step-growth polymers, chain-
growth polymers, cross-linking, solutions and
degradation.
