This class is an introduction to the engineering and technology of polymeric materials. Topics include: an introduction to the structure and properties of polymers in the solid state, structural organisation (i.e., crystallinity, liquid crystallinity, phase separation), thermal transitions, viscoelastic behaviour, rubber elasticity, mechanical properties, additives, blends and composites, polymer processing, and polymer recycling.
