II Fundamentals of polymer reaction kinetics, morphology, chemical and rheological properties with applications to polymer synthesis, production and processing operations. F.Rodriguez, Principles of Polymer Systems, McGraw-Hill, 1980. This introductory course in polymer engineering is intended to provide a basic understanding of principles and practice of polymer synthesis, structure, characterization, properties, and processing. Various aspects of modern engineering design with plastics also will be introduced. Elementary Organic Chemistry 2.
Students work in groups of three.
Each group will present a single project report. This same group will be expected to collaborate on the homework problems and present a single set of problem solutions for grading.
