Aim:
The aim of this course is to present to the student the fundamental knowledge in polymer engineering, with focus on describing material structures, engineering properties and manufacturing processes. After the course the student shall:
- Be able to explain the characteristic structures and properties of the different polymer groups, important forming processes and the interrelationship between structures, properties and manufacturing.
- Be able to make conceptual material selection for polymer products from requirements on properties and process and choose manufacturing process based on production volumes, dimensions, etc.
- Have understanding for the principles in design with polymer and composite materials.
