Offer 1 with catalog number 4004777ENR for all students in the 1st and 2nd semester at a (E) Master - advanced level.
Speciality polymers and recent developments in polymer science and technology are treated: (i) Engineering plastics for structural applications (e.g. matrices for polymer (nano)composites). (ii) Polymers with improved thermomechanical properties. (iii) Electrical conducting polymers. (iv) Non-linear optical polymers. (v) Functional polymers fot the biomedical sector. (vi) Biodegradable polymers. (vii) Self-healing polymers. (viii) Polymers for energy applications. The synthesis, characterisation, and properties are studied.
In this optional course, modern trends in polymer science and technology are discussed. This optional course is part of the optional package ‘Polymers’ of the 2nd year Master of applied sciences and engineering: chemistry and materials.
A fundamental knowledge and understanding of developing improved materials via optimized structure-processing-property relationships is aimed.
