06-802 Colloids, Polymers and Surfaces Lab II: Polymers

6 units, Carnegie Mellon University

Physical characterization methods for polymeric materials are covered in this graduate level laboratory course. Techniques include measurement of molecular weight averages and distributions using size exclusion chromatography, light scattering and viscometric methods thermal analysis, emulsion polymer synthesis, crosslink density, as well as rheological and mechanical properties. A course or background in physical chemistry of macromolecules is highly recommended.
