MATS 530 - Polymer Science


Credit Hours: 3
Lecture Hours: 2
Lab Hours: 2

This course is designed for chemistry, physics, or any branch of engineering students enrolled in the Materials Science and Engineering Graduate Certificate Program. This certificate course introduces students to polymer synthesis, processing, and characterization. Students will learn about the viscoelasticity, phase behavior and rheology of polymers and their importance for processing, and interrelationship between polymer structure and properties. This understanding will help them for the proper selection of polymers for various applications including organic electronics, composites, and plastics. Through this course, students will gain a greater understanding of how the intersection of physics, chemistry and engineering apply in materials science field.
Prerequisite: MATS 301 (CHEM 301)
