Course objectives

Our recently modernized polymer lab gives students access to one of the best educational facilities of this type in the country. Here they are trained in modern methods of polymer characterization.

The course emphasizes polymer synthesis, characterization and structure-property relationships. It consists of several weeks of training on each of the instruments followed by group research projects.

Topics covered

Differential scanning calorimeter
High-precision solution calorimeter
Thermal gravimetric analyzer
Dynamic mechanical analyzer
Gel permeation chromatograph
Controlled stress rheometer
Capillary viscometer
X-ray spectro-photometer with an area detector
