This program introduces students to the world of polymers. Students look at a number of monomers and the processes of addition polymerization and condensation polymerization in order to produce a desired polymer. Properties of both thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers are also investigated with links to the relationship between physical properties of a material and the type of bonding that is occurring both within and between the molecules. Students will also look at elastomers and the various degrees of cross linking and the process of Vulcanization.
