Learning outcomes
After successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- describe the structure of polymers and being able to apply thermodynamic relations on polymer systems, especially phase equilibria and swelling properties of gels
- describe, analyse, and solve problems based on the properties of viscoelastic materials
- describe the electronic properties of polymeric semiconductors, and apply this knowledge on relevant problems, especially in energy related areas
- discuss and predict how different materials can be joined together using adhesion, and be able to suggest and motivate suitable methods to solve a given problem
- search, summarise, and present information starting from a question related to the content of the course
- carry out experiments related to the content of the course, and present results and conclusions in a clear and linguistically correct way
Content
Polymer structure, thermodynamics for polymer solutions and polymer melts, adhesion, physically and chemically cross-linked gels, polymeric semiconductors, rheological concepts and relations, linear and non-linear viscoelasticity, electrorheology
Instruction
Lectures, seminars, laboratory classes, and projects
Assessment
Written examination at the of the course/during the course. The theoretical part corresponds to 6 credits and laboratory classes and project to 4 credits. The final grade corresponds to weighting the grades for the theory part and the lab work and project respectively.
