Course Content
Synthesis, structural characterization and application properties of organic polymers. Chemical, physical and mechanical properties of the polymer correlated with its structure and with the formulation of the final product. The role of additives in the production of a polymeric material and its application properties. Methodologies of synthesis and industrial processes for the production of emulsions, dispersions, gels, composites, films and nano structural coatings based on organic polymers.
