The course shall give deep knowledge and understanding about different concepts concerning physical properties of polymers, primarily in the solid state.

Polymers in the amorphous state, the liquid crystalline state and the crystalline state. The glass-rubber transition. Cross-linked polymers and rubber elasticity. Polymer viscoelasticity. Mechanical behavior of polymers. Multicomponent polymeric systems.

Be able to deeply describe and analyze important concepts in polymer physics, and to be able to analyze and describe the behavior and properties of polymer materials from a theoretical point of view.

Be able to plan and evaluate experiments to study the physical properties of polymeric materials.

Be able to deeply discuss different problems and aspects of polymer physics.

Seminarier

Projekt

Litteraturkurs som självstudier

The teaching is carried out in the form of seminars where the course participants (after literature studies) present, describe and discuss different areas of polymer physics. A literature project is carried out towards the end of the course where the participants will develop a detailed experimental plan (incl. risk assessment) to experimentally characterize one or several polymer materials, with an evaluation based on theoretical grounds.
