MSE 545 - Polymer Engineering Processing and Characterization Laboratory

3 Credit Hours
Polymer film casting, film blowing, mixing and extrusion are operated and studied. Flow rates, temperatures, pressures and velocity profiles are acquired and used in finite element modeling and simulation to correlate the polymeric material properties and morphology. Supporting instrumentation includes linear viscoelastic rheometry, capillary viscometry, SEM, OM, FTIR, etc. Fundamentals of processing-structure-property relationships are documented in a literature review paper.
