Course description and aims

The basis of polymer processing is reviewed in relation with the viscoelastic properties in order to understand the physical properties of organic and polymeric materials.

Student learning outcomes

I. Based on the thermodynamics, methodology, rheology, and thermal engineering, the basis of polymers and materials processing are studied.
II. Viscosity, elasticity, visco-elsticity, complex notation, time-temperature superposition principle, linear response theory are studied.
III. Processing of advanced materials are reviewed in relation with the measuring methods and methodology.
IV. Mechanical modeling and the numerical calculation.

Keywords
