The Review of Fundamentals of Polymers by 10 Basic Curves

Welcome to the polymer world. In this course, we are supposed to check 10 basic curves in polymer science to review the polymeric basic concepts fast and simply. We try to make sense of polymer by using schematic images and animations. Analyzing the 10 basic curves is an opportunity to investigate polymerization methods, polymer chemistry, polymer structure, morphology, and polymer rheology. Also, the physical, thermal, and mechanical properties of polymers are discussed in the course by these curves. You get familiar with important and practical polymers during the course. Also, crystallization, mechanical analysis, crosslinking process, and percolation theory are noted simply. This course makes you understand polymer basics more deeply…

The course syllabus is:

1-Macromolecules (Molecular Weight)

2-Polymerization Methods (Step and Chain Polymerization)

3-Polymer Crystallinity (Semicrystalline and Amorphous)

4-Polymer Thermal Transitions (Glass Transition Temperature and Melting Temperature)

5-The Polymer Rheology (Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluid)

6-The Mechanical Properties (Tensile Analysis)

7-The Mechanical Fatigue (Mechanical Fatigue Test)

8-The Thermal Stability (TGA and DSC Analysis)

9-The Crosslinking (The Vulcanization Process)

10-The Percolation Theory (Polymeric Composite)

We have designed a question or practice for you at the end of each session. These practices help you to learn interesting points while your research ability improves.
