Polymer processing 0600-S2-PP/ChP-PP
Lecture:
The content of the lecture includes methods of processing and forming materials made of polymers along with an overview of the various stages of individual techniques and an outline of the construction of the devices used. In addition, the processing behavior of different groups of polymers will be discussed. The most important processing methods include: extrusion, injection, thermoforming, pressing, gluing, calendering. Selected mechanical properties of polymers, such as tensile strength, impact strength, flexural strength, hardness, and abrasion, which are crucial when working with polymer materials.
Lab:
The laboratory includes extrusion with dyeing, extrusion with extraction and polymer granulation, thermoforming of containers, analysis of polymers with an indication of suitability for a given processing method. Injection molding. Analysis of the obtained welds obtained by gluing and welding. Influence of granulate color on processing properties of polymers. Mechanical properties of polymers, such as tensile strength, impact strength, flexural strength, hardness, and abrasion, which are crucial when working with polymer materials.
