Summary

This course is an introduction to polymer physics. It aims at giving the basic notions in order to understand the relations existing between processing - structure - properties in the case of polymers. Briefly the course will focus on the overview and understanding of how to control the (micro) structure of polymers (thanks to the process) in order to control their properties. A particular attention will be paid to the study of the mechanical behavior of polymers.

Educational goals

Ggive an overview and to understand the main polymer processing methods (in both molten state and solid states). Understand the relationships between process - structure and properties. Understand the mechanical behavior of polymers.

Sustainable development goals

Knowledge control procedures

Continuous Assessment
Comments: Work in group. Making of a poster dealing with a point of the course applied to a real example.
