Polymer morphology and structure
5 points * 26 lectures, 26 laboratory hours and tutorials * Second semester * Clayton * Prerequisites: MTE1510
Objectives The student should achieve a basic understanding of the relationship between polymer structure and morphology and properties of polymers.
Synopsis Macromolecular structure: chemistry of polymerisation, molecular weight distributions, statistical description of chains, crystal structure of polymers. Polymer phase behaviour: solubility, polymer blends, miscibility vs. immiscibility, specific interactions in polymer blends, simple phase diagrams, UCST, LCST spinodals.
