MTEN 332 — Physical Properties Of Polymers

Materials Science and Engineering · University of Ghana

The course covers the study of molecular weight of polymers and the various methods of determining the molecular weight. It also covers the structure of polymer chain, Amorphous and crystalline state viscoelasticity, kinetics, polymer solutions and blends, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics of polymers elasticity. Some topics include physical (Density; molecular weight, crystallinity & crosslinking) Mechanical Behaviour of polymers; Mechanisms of deformation and strengthening of polymers. Phase behaviour (Melting point, Glass transition temperature (Tg) and decomposition temperature, mixing behavior and inclusion of plasticizer, Microstructure, Morphology (Crystallinity, Chain conformation, and chemical properties); Chemical properties.
