Polymerization mechanisms, polymer structure and properties, plastics, rubber, biopolymers, and environmental impact.
Introduction to Polymers
Monomers, degree of polymerization, and natural vs synthetic polymers
Addition Polymerization
Free radical, cationic, and anionic mechanisms for polyethylene, PVC, and polystyrene
Condensation Polymerization
Step-growth mechanism, polyesters, polyamides (nylon), and polyurethanes
Polymer Structure and Properties
Linear, branched, crosslinked structures — crystallinity and glass transition
Thermoplastics and Thermosets
Processing differences, recycling, and common examples (ABS, epoxy, silicone)
Rubber and Elastomers
Natural rubber, vulcanization, synthetic rubbers, and elastic properties
Biopolymers and Biodegradable Plastics
PLA, PHA, starch-based polymers, cellulose derivatives, and compostability
Polymer Characterization
GPC/SEC, DSC, TGA, rheology, tensile testing, and molecular weight distribution
Advanced Polymers
Conducting polymers, liquid crystals, shape-memory, and self-healing materials
Plastics and the Environment
Microplastics, recycling codes, chemical recycling, and the circular economy
