Polymer Engineering

CHNG3808

Polymers are ubiquitous and a significant number of scientists and engineers are employed by the Polymer Industry. This unit of study will facilitate engagement with a broad spectrum of engineering knowledge base that range from polymer synthesis to design of polymer products to developing sustainable technology in polymer synthesis and applications. The industrial applications range from biomedical to electronics and semiconductors to nanotechnology, in addition to usual consumer products. Technical knowledge relating to polymer chemistry, mathematics, fluid and solid mechanics, heat transfer, mass transfer and reaction engineering will be applied for the planned outcomes of this course. The specific objectives are: To analyse molecular structures and their relations with material properties; To investigate the variety of thermal and thermo-mechanical properties relevant for probing polymer structure as well as understanding material behaviour in the context of applications;
