Lecture
St Paul: Owens Science Hall LL54
This course focuses on describing: what polymers are; how they are manufactured; why they behave the way they do; and how they are fabricated into structural objects-parts, fibers, films; how they can be compounded into alloys, reinforced composite structures, flexibilized toughened structures; how they are increasingly being used in functionally active roles, photopolymers as imaging elements in the printing and electronics industries, polymer membrane in separation processes, polymer fiber optics, photonic elements and optical discs. The presentation method is highly descriptive with frequest reference to commercial examples and attempts to avoid, to the degree compatible with qualitative understanding, detailed excursions into underlying chemistry and rigorous mathematical physics. Prerequisite: ETLS 771
