Objetivos

Learning goals: to know and understand the chemistry of polymers and the main industrial methods for thesynthesis and production of these materials; to learn how to characterize polymers, not only at physical-chemical level, but also the mechanical and rheological properties of these materials; to learn about polymer processing techniques and the main industrial applications of these materials.

Resultados de aprendizagem e competências

With this curricular unit, students are intended to acquire both knowledge and practical skills in polymer science and technology,so that they can select the best method for producing a particular polymer,choose the right characterization techniques or even select the best technologies for processing a polymer. Thus, in addition to a formal written evaluation, a mini-project is also proposed, to assure that students also acquire the above mentioned skills.

Modo de trabalho

Presencial

Pré-requisitos (conhecimentos prévios) e co-requisitos (conhecimentos simultâneos)

Basic organic chemistry and analýtical chemistry knowledge would be helpful.

Programa

1.Introduction to the polymer chemistry. Natural macromolecules and synthetic polymers. Most importantpolymer families. Structure, branching and cross-linking.
2.Polymerization methods and techniques (both classical and modern).
3.Physical-chemical characterization of polymers. Molecular weight, chemical structure, morphology.Thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties.
4.Technologies for processing and transforming polymers.
5.Industrial applications of polymers. Novel applications.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

Two evaluation processes are possible:

1. Continuous evaluation:
-Two tests (representing 30% each) and a written report of the mini-project (40%).
The minimum classification in each test is 8.0. However, the average of the two tests should be higher than 9.5.

2. Evaluation by final exam:
In the 1st or 2nd seasons (100%).
