Polymer Structure and Property Relationship 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 Polymer Structure and Property Relationship B.Tech 2016-2017 (R13) fourthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES: To enable the students to understand
The structure of polymers and prediction of polymer properties
The relationship between polymer structure and properties such as mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical and chemical properties
UNIT I [9 Hours]
Structure and properties of polymers- Linear, branched, crosslinked, and network polymers-Homochain and hetero atomic chain polymers- Copolymers and its types- Linear and cyclic arrangement – Prediction of polymer properties, group contribution techniques, topological techniques- Volumetric properties – molar volume, density, Van der Waals volume – Coefficient of linear thermal expansion and volumetric thermal expansion – Pressure volume temperature (PVT) relationship.
UNIT II [9 Hours]
Mechanical properties – Stress-strain properties of polymers – Effect of polymer structure on modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength, yield strength, fracture toughness – Crazing in glassy polymers – Ductile brittle transition. Effect of additives on mechanical properties of polymers – Creep, stress relaxation, and fatigue.
UNIT III [9 Hours]
Thermodynamic and transition properties – Transition temperature in polymers, glass transition (Tg), melt transition (Tm), relationship between Tg and Tm – other transitions like β-transitions, upper and lower glass transition, crystallization & cold crystallization temperatures – Prediction of TC, Tg and Tm of polymers by group contributions. Calorimetric properties – Heat capacity, specific heat, latent heat of crystallization and fusion, enthalpy and entropy – Calculation of heat capacities of polymers.
TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
