Analysis and Characterisation of Polymers Syllabus for B.Tech 5th 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 Analysis and Characterisation of Polymers B.Tech (R13) fifthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES: To prepare the students with methodology for facing the industrial and academic challenges in
- Identifying various polymers
- Controlling the quality of incoming raw materials and processing characterizing different fluid of polymers
- Analyzing polymers through various instrumental methods
UNIT I : IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS [9 Hours]
Chemical analysis, Determination of purity, refractive index, pyrolytic behaviour, Thermoplastics – melting point, density, viscosity, melt flow index, K-value. Thermo sets – moisture analysis, particle size, apparent density, spiral flow test, cup flow test, gel time and peak exothermic temperature. Resins – acid value, hydroxyl value, isocyanate index, epoxy equivalent, acetyl number, iodine number
UNIT II : SPECTRAL ANALYSIS OF POLYMERS [9 Hours]
UV, FTIR spectroscopy & NMR spectroscopy – 1H and 13C – Instruments, Experimental technique and specimen preparation- Structural elucidation studies – Orientation and measurement of crystallinity
UNIT III : MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYMERS [9 Hours]
Determination of molecular weight- molecular weight distribution- gel permeation chromatography (GPC) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-Light scattering technique. X-ray diffraction analysis -wide and small angle X-ray diffraction techniques structural determination of polymers
TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
OUTCOMES: Upon completing this course, the students
- Will familiarize about the thermal analysis of polymers
- Will be able to determine the molecular weight of polymers
- Will demonstrate the function of spectroscopy in analysis of polymers
