Brief Introduction
Polymer chemistry, properties, processing, testing and applicationsDescription
Plastics and polymers have broad range of applications across several industries, from the automotive, electronics, dentistry, sports, fashion, biomedical, building, energy industry and much more. So whether you are starting a plastics processing business, a student seeking additional learning aid, you work within the polymer industry or make use of polymers and seek to sharpen your knowledge of polymers or perhaps an individual wanting to know more about the plastics and other polymers; how they are made and how they are used in various products. This course serves as your ideal entry point into the plastics and polymer industry. Learn how polymers are converted to finished products such as pipes, water bottles, shopping bags, kayaks, phone screen protectors etc. In this course you will learn about processes such as blow molding, injection molding, 3D printing and many others. You will also learn the tests carried out on polymers to determine their quality. The course starts off with some fundamental polymer chemistry which helps you know your polyethylenetherephthalate from your polymethylmethacrylate. There are over 2.5 Hours of video lectures with lots of graphics to make the learning process easy and enjoyable. The course also includes some exercises to test your progress. If you have further questions at any point during or after the course feel free to send a message to the instructor.
