Course content
Subject is diveded into following chapters: - Introduction to Advanced polymeric materials and processing technologies - Dendrimers - Fluoropolymers - Specialty polymers, polymeric blends and composites - Thermoplastic elastomers - Liquid crystal polymers - Polymeric fibers - Polymeric foams - PIM, foams, coating, surface layer activation - Nanotechnologies - Healthcare, medical, pharmacology and laboratory techniques and technologies (sterilization, bioactivity, control release, membranes, separators, ..) - Food and packaging industry (permeability, endurance, biodegradability, ..) - Automotive, aircraft industry (heat-deflection, high-performance materials, flame resistance, ..) - Environment, recycling technologies, power and civil engineering In the frame of these chapters students will become familiar with application possibility of knowledge from: - Rheological properties of solutions and polymer melts, curing of thermosets - Thermal analysis (TGA, DSC, DTA, TMA, DMA) - Preparation of test specimen, conditioning procedures - Short-term mechanical static behavior (tensile, compression, flexure, shear, hardness) - Long-term mechanical static behavior (creep, stress relaxation) - Dynamic mechanical tests (rebound resilience, impact and notched impact strength) - Thermal properties (specific heat, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, linear and volume expansion, resistance to low and high temperature, flammability) - Electric and dielectric properties of polymers, wear testing - Weathering
