| Language : | French language |
|
| Course contents : | This course illustrates by the presence of several chemists of the polymer industry, industrial processes to synthesize these materials together with their applications fields. A special attention is focussed on biomaterials. These examples include natural polymers, polyurethane foams, polyethylene, pressure sensitive adhesives, intraocular lens materials, glass fibers/polymer composites...
Two visits of industrial plants are included in the course program. |
|
| Course objective : | The main objective of this course relies upon the study of main polymeric materials industrially produced and encountered all around us. Through the analysis of specific industrial examples, it will focus on the principal methods of production, the physico-chemical and thermo-mechanical properties of polymeric materials as well as their applications. |
