This course provides a broad introduction to polymer science, technology, and use in engineering design. Topics covered are: polymer chemistry (major synthetic polymerization routes); Polymer physics (solution and melt behavior, solid-state morphology and properties); polymer engineering (melt processing, recycling methods); and polymer applications (automotive, aerospace, composites, 3D printing). Offered as AE 5349 and ME 5349. Credit will be granted only once.
