This lecture covers the flow behavior of polymer melts, the Rouse-Zimm and Reptation models, the influence of molecular weight on viscosity, the viscosity of polymer melts, thermoplasts, thermosets, elastomers, and the elastic properties of polymers. It also discusses the processing of thermoplasts and thermosets, the vulcanization process, and the rheology of polymers, including oscillatory rheology. Additionally, it explores the deformation of elastomers and the 3D printing of polymer solutions.
