Principles of Polymer Chemistry and Technology
- Polymer definition- Types of polymerization reactions
- Free radical polymerization- Initiation mechanisms in polymerization reactions
- Propagation step in polymerization reactions- Stereo regularity in polymerization reactions
- Transfer reactions in polymerization reactions
- Ionic (Cationic and Anionic) polymerization- Coordination polymerization
- Step reaction polymerization (with and without molecule elimination)- Ring opening polymerization
- Copolymerization
- Polymerization processes (Bulk, Solution, Suspension and Emulsion)
- Molecular weight and molecular weight distribution measurement of polymers
- Physical properties (amorphous and crystalline structures) of polymers
- Phase and state change in polymers- Glass transition temperature
- Effective parameters on the value of polymer glass transition temperature
- Viscoelastic behaviors of polymers
- Mechanical behaviors of polymers
- Plastics engineering (polyolefines, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene)
- Polymer processing (extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, compression molding and thermoforming)
- Elastomers engineering (natural and synthetic rubbers, vulcanization technology)
