The detailed syllabus for Polymer Process Engineering B.Tech (R13) sixthsem is as follows

OBJECTIVES:

The subject exposes students to the basics of polymer, polymerisation, condensation, their properties and overview of manufacturing.

UNIT I : POLYMERIZATION    [9 Hours]
Fundamentals of polymers – monomers – functionality – Classification – characterization –. Types of Polymerization: cationic polymerization – anionic polymerization – coordination polymerization – free radical polymerization. Copolymerization concepts – Simple condensation reactions – Extension of condensation reactions to polymer synthesis – functional group reactivity. Polycondensation – kinetics of polycondensation – Carother’s equation – Linear polymers by polycondensation – Interfacial polymerization – crosslinked polymers by condensation – gel point.

UNIT II : MOLECULAR WEIGHTS OF POLYMERS    [9 Hours]
Number average and weight average molecular weights – Degree of polymerization – molecular weight distribution – Polydispersity – Molecular weight determination- Different methods – Gel Permeation Chromatography

UNIT III : TRANSITIONS IN POLYMERS     [9 Hours]
First and second order transitions – Glass transition, Tg – multiple transitions in polymers – experimental study – significance of transition temperatures Crystallinity in polymers – effect of crystallization – factors affecting crystallization, crystal nucleation and growth – Relationship between Tg and Tm – Structure–Property relationship.
