CENG 134
Polymeric Materials
Foundations of polymeric materials. Topics: structure of polymers; mechanisms of polymer synthesis; characterization methods using calorimetric, mechanical, rheological, and X-ray-based techniques; and electronic, mechanical, and thermodynamic properties. Special classes of polymers: engineering plastics, semiconducting polymers, photoresists, and polymers for medicine. Cross-listed with NANO 134 and CHEM 134. Students may only receive credit for one of the following: CENG 134, CHEM 134, NANO 134. Prerequisites: CHEM 6C and PHYS 2C.
