Summary
After reviewing the general concepts related to the structure and physico-chemical properties of polymers, students are introduced to rheology, in a broad sense, and its applications. The course then covers in detail: - The different rheological behaviours - The rheological behaviour of thermoplastic polymers - The interpretation of this/(these) rheological behaviour(s) in terms of macromolecular structure - The influence of different parameters on rheological behaviour (temperature, pressure, etc.) - Viscosity measurement methods Practical work particularly illustrates monitoring a hydrogel's formation.
Educational goals
Have a general understanding of the rheological behaviour of polymers, the structural origin and the implications on polymer shaping. Know how to use the basic functions of a rheometer and analyse information obtained from it.
Sustainable development goals
