Teilnahmevoraussetzungen
Kompetenzziele
  • The students acquire perspectives for the work as a polymer engineer.
  • They study basics of technical/industrial polymerization processes and instrumentation
  • They receive the theoretical background on basic knowledge of polymerization kinetics, kinetic modeling approaches, design of polymerization reactors and industrial polymerization processes.
  • They acquire a basic knowledge about physical properties of polymeric materials, including composites.
Modulinhalte
This module covers advanced topics of polymer engineering. The lectures Polymer Reaction Engineering and Polymeric Materials combine the experience from lab scale to the requirements of industrial application.
Lectures:
1. Polymer Reaction Engineering
  • Classification of polyreactions and polymerization processes
  • Kinetics and kinetic modeling of polymerizations and molecular weight distributions (free-radical, emulsion, coordinative polymerization)
  • Rheological properties of reaction mixtures
  • Design and dimensioning of polymerization reactors, heat removal, mixing, non-idealities
  • Industrial polymerization processes
  • Seminar topics (Material balances of ideal chemical reactors; Calculation of polymerization kinetics on selected examples; Calculation of molecular weight distributions; Application examples on dimensioning of polymerization reactor; Heat removal calculations for polymerization reactors; examples on non-ideal reactors and selectivity effects)
2. Polymeric Materials
  • Chemical and physical structure, Liquid/melt - solid transition: crystallization / glass transition
  • Mechanical behaviour: elastic deformation / rubbery-elasticity / visco-elastic behavior of polymeric solids / plastic deformation, Basics of melt flow
  • Thermal, optical, electrical, acoustic properties of polymers
  • Polymeric materials: structure, properties, applications:
a) Thermoplastics (commodity polymers, polyesters/-amides, high-performance polymers)
b) Elastomers
c) Thermosets
d) Blends and composites
  • Material balances of ideal chemical reactors
  • Calculation of polymerization kinetics on selected examples

  • Calculation of molecular weight distributions
