This is a graduate-level polymer processing. This course lectures the basis of polymer processing. It is necessary for understanding the polymer processing to comprehend the relationship between the processing, structure and physical properties of polymers and polymer composites. This course focuses on the following phenomena of polymer processing, especially 1. Polymer rheology (viscoelastic properties), 2. Thermal properties of polymers, 3. Structure of polymers, 4. Physical properties of Polymer, 5. Fundamental and theory of polymer processing, 6. Various polymer processing method. This class is conducted using both lecture and presentation styles.

Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to understand:
1) Fundamental ant theory of polymer processing
2) Basis of polymer rheology
3) Relationship between the processing, structure and physical properties of polymers and polymer composites

Students should be better to have completed the fundamentals of polymer materials and polymer processing at the undergraduate level.

Polymer processing is comprehensive engineering. If polymer processing understood and utilized, the performance of polymer can be maximized. We hope that students will be interested in learning more about this topic.

Applicable

Taking advantage of my work experience in manufacturer in design, development and research departments, this lecture will be given not only on the basics of polymer processing, but also on the relationship among polymer processing, structure and physical property, which are closely related to the performance of polymeric materials.
