Polymer Testing Methods Syllabus for B.Tech 6th 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 Testing Methods B.Tech (R13) sixth is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
- To familiarize the students with standards and methodology in preparing various polymers specimen
- To enable the students to understand the testing of raw materials and components for evaluating various properties; testing the products for predicting product performance
UNIT I : STANDARDS AND SPECIMEN PREPARATION [9 Hours]
Standards – BIS, ASTM, ISO, specifications and their importance with reference to polymer Preparation of test specimen by various techniques for thermoplastics, thermo sets, and elastomers conditioning and test atmospheres- Analytical tests: determination of specific gravity, density by density gradient method, bulk density, moisture absorption, particle size analysis.
UNIT II : MECHANICAL PROPERTIES [9 Hours]
Tensile, compression, flexural, shear, tear, impact, abrasion, hardness, permanent set, resilience, flex and cut growth resistance. Creep and stress relaxation, fatigue.
UNIT III : THERMAL AND RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES [9 Hours]
Transition temperatures, Vicat softening temperature, heat distortion temperature, coefficient of expansion, specific heat, thermal conductivity, shrinkage, brittleness temperature, thermal stability, and flammability, melt flow index, Viscosity (Rotational viscometer, MDR, capillary rheometer, and torque rheometer)
TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
OUTCOMES: Upon completing this course, the students
- Will have the knowledge of standard and specification for polymer testing.
- Will be able to demonstrate the test for various polymer properties.
- Will develop the skills in testing of polymer products.
