Course description and aims
This course covers fundamentals of thermal properties (heat transfer), electric properties (dielectric properties, piezoelectricity, electrically conductivity), optical properties, and surface properties as important charcteristics observed for assembles of polymer compounds, these fundamentals are explained in terms of thermodynamics and physical chemistry. Exercise problems of various properties are given, and the ability of understanding is developed.
Unique properties and behaviors observed for assembles of polymer molecules are utilized in polymeric materials used in various applications. Students will have an understanding of how to appear thermal, electric, opitical, and surface properties for assembles of polymer molecules and relate to their structures. And examples of application, how characteristic properties of polymers is utilized to functional materials, are also introduced.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to
1) Explain fundamentals and phenomenon of electric properties of polymers.
2) Explain expression mechanism of optical properties of polymers.
3) Explain heat transfer of polymers.
4) Explain fundamentals and phenomenon of surface properties.
5) Explain adhesion/cohesion and thin film properties.
6) Explain permeability and water absorption.
