CENG 689 Polymer Engineering and Science (3) Lecture 3.
Fundamentals of polymer science and engineering, including synthesis, characterization, properties and processing of polymeric materials. An overview of polymer structure, including classification, tacticity, conformation and configuration is given. Synthetic techniques are reviewed, including addition and condensation polymerization and copolymerization. Polymer thermodynamics are described, including an introduction to Flory-Huggins theory, as well as polymer-polymer miscibility and blends. A brief overview of characterization is given, including molecular weight and glass transition temperature determination. Properties are discussed, including mechanical properties of semi-crystalline polymers and elastomers. The time-temperature superposition principle is described, as well as a brief introduction to processing techniques.
