Teaching Method

Outline:
In this course, you will learn about synthesis, measurements and calculations of molecular weight, dynamic viscoelastic parameters, melt process of polymers, and about the difference between polymers and metallic materials.
Style:
For the purpose of understanding polymer and polymer matrix composites, lectures and exercises will facilitate the studying of the principles and examples.
Notice:
You have to attend classes after reviewing chemistry. You need to bring your scientific calculator, because we may issue calculations during class.
