What are Polymers?
Description
Polymers have broad range of applications across several industries,
from the automotive, electronics, dentistry, sports, fashion,
biomedical, building, energy industry and much more. So whether you are
starting a plastics processing business, a student seeking additional
learning aid, you work within the polymer industry or make use of
polymers and seek to sharpen your knowledge of polymers or perhaps an
individual wanting to know more about the plastics and other polymers;
how they are made and how they are used in various products. This course
serves as your ideal entry point into the plastics and polymer industry.
Learn how polymers are converted to finished products such as pipes,
water bottles, shopping bags, kayaks, phone screen protectors etc. In
this course you will learn about processes such as blow molding,
injection molding, 3D printing and many others. You will also learn the
tests carried out on polymers to determine their quality. The course
starts off with some fundamental polymer chemistry which helps you know
your polyethylenetherephthalate from your polymethylmethacrylate.
