Physical Chemistry of Polymers Syllabus for B.Tech Fourth sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Physical Chemistry of Polymers B.Tech 2016-2017 (R13) fourthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES: To make the students understand
- Physical and conformational properties of polymeric materials
- Molecular arrangement in polymers and their orientation under the influence of stress.
- Solubility behavior of polymers
UNIT I [9 Hours]
Potential energy and conformational energy of molecules – Staggered and eclipsed states – conformations and configurations, isomeric states and isomerism in polymers -Tacticity, stereoisomerism, geometric isomerism – Unperturbed and Gaussian chains -Random coils and average end to end distance – Freely jointed and freely rotating chain models – Random flight analysis.
UNIT II [9 Hours]
