Kompetenzziele
  • The students obtain basics of the physical chemistry of polymers and their characterization methods.
  • The overview of analytical techniques for polymers enables the students for their practical application.
  • They learn to perform basic polymer analyses using different techniques.
  • Finally, they improve their capabilities in writing of scientific reports.
Modulinhalte
This module covers basic topics of polymer physical chemistry. The lectures Instrumental Analytics of Polymers, Physical Chemistry and Polymer Characterization give an overview over the broad spectrum of characterization methods from different approaches. The lab courses Instrumental Analytics of Polymers Lab and Polymer Characterization Lab accompany the lectures and show the examples of the different characterization methods.
Lectures:
1. Instrumental Analytics of Polymers
  • Basic principles of analytical chemistry
  • Statistical treatment of analytical data
  • Special chromatographic techniques for the investigation of polymers and polymer additives
  • Principles and instrumental parameters in molecule spectroscopy (IR- and Raman spectroscopy)
  • Thermal analytical methods for the characterization of chemical and physical properties of polymers
2. Physical Chemistry
  • Phenomenological thermodynamics: Gibbs free energy, enthalphy, chemical potentials
  • Chemical and phase equilibrium, thermodynamics of mixtures
  • Chemical kinetics
  • Basics of statistical thermodynamics
3. Polymer Characterization
  • Determination of molecular masses and distributions
  • Thermodynamics of polymer solutions, colligative properties
  • Viscosity and diffusion
  • DSC, DMA, TMA
  • Principles of chromatography
  • Characterization of non-linear polymers
  • Microstructure analysis by NMR
  • Electrospray GC-MS, MALDI-TOF
  • End-group titration
Lab courses:
1. Instrumental Analytics of Polymers Lab e.g.
  • Extraction of additives and analysis of extracts and residual monomers by GC/MS
  • Elastomer characterization by TGA
  • Qualitative analysis of polymers and copolymers by FTIR spectroscopy (MIR or NIR)
  • Mn of polymers by vapour pressure osmometry or membrane osmometry
2. Polymer Characterization Lab e.g.
  • static light scattering
  • Dynamic light scattering
  • Wide-angle X-ray scattering
  • CMC determination
  • Gel permeation chromatography (GPC/SEC)
  • End-group titration
  • Intrinsic viscosity
  • Solubility of polymers
  • Mass spectrometry of polymers (ESI and MALDI TOF)
