Course contents :  This course develops the principles of obtaining industrial polymers through the study of the general characteristics of these processes and their application in the case of large tonnage polymers.

These processes will be studied in heterogeneous masses, homogeneous masses, in solution, in suspension, in emulsion and through precipitation, as well as from the point of view of apparent kinetics, characteristics of the polymer obtained and the possibility or not of functioning either continuously or discontinuously.

The following processes will also be analysed: polymerisation of PVC, styrenic polymers, polyolefines, synthetic rubbers, nylons and other polymer techniques. Chemical aspects of the aging phenomenon encountered during the operation of these polymers, thermal degradation, sensitivity to radiation, oxygen or ozone, and resistance to fire will also be studied.
