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. The numerical calculation is practiced in the course.
The purpose of this course is to provide junior students, who are interested in Materials Science and Engineering,Tokyo institute of Technology, with the principles and tools of rehology based on a linear response theory for the molecular dynamics with Boltzmann’s superposition principle and the time-temperature superposition law. Using useful software MATLAB, the students are also introduced to the computational tools for dynamical systems.

Student learning outcomes

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

Keywords
