Explores the flow behavior, models, viscosity, processing, and elastic properties of polymers, including thermoplasts, thermosets, elastomers, and 3D printing.
Covers the general aspects of polymer materials, the 'Big 5' technical polymers, spider silk nanostructure, synthetic polymers, major application segments of plastics, and the activities of the Polymer Science department at EPFL.
Explores polymer synthesis basics, including step and radical chain polymerization, molecular weight control, copolymerization, and crosslinked polymers for microengineering.
