For all other polymer 6th sem syllabus for diploma m scheme tndte you can visit Polymer 6th Sem Syllabus for Diploma M Scheme TNDTE Subjects. The detail syllabus for polymer testing is as follows.
Rationale:
In this subject the basic methods by plastics and rubbers identification are detailed to make the students to be knowledgeable in various methods of identification. This subject also covers different properties of polymers namely mechanical properties, thermal properties, optical properties, Electrical properties and chemical properties also the methods by which these properties can be determined.
In this subject different test can be performed to products like pipes, containers, foams, hoses, belts and laminates.
This subject will definitely help the students to operate various testing equipments.
Objectives:
On completion of the units of syllabus contents the students must be able to know about
- Identification of plastics by Simple physical preliminary tests and by detection of elements present in the plastics.
- Confirmation of plastics by chemical analysis.
- Significance and method of determination Analytical tests like Specific gravity, Density, Water absorption, Moisture analysis, Melting point and Solubility.
