Explores the theory of rubber elasticity, including entropy-driven behavior, swelling of polymer networks, and applications of thermoplastic elastomers.
Explores the classification, molecular structures, mechanical behavior, and viscoelastic properties of polymers, emphasizing temperature effects and material responses.
Explores the flow behavior, models, viscosity, processing, and elastic properties of polymers, including thermoplasts, thermosets, elastomers, and 3D printing.
Discusses how polymer structure affects crystallinity and the propensity of polymers to crystallize, distinguishing between amorphous and semi-crystalline polymers.
