Learning Outcomes
Competences
Students are able to describe the historical development of polymer materials, their structural parameters, the thermal transitions from the secondary dispersion region to the flow region and the concept of viscoelasticity.
Skills Knowledge
can describe the history of the development of plastics and milestones in polymer science (in particular Nobel Prizes) (k1)

can describe invariable and variable structural parameters of amorphous and semi-crystalline plastics (k1) and explain their significance for short- and long-term properties and processability (k2)

can describe the main and secondary dispersion areas, melting and crystallization phenomena and the flow range of plastics and explain their dependence on the primary structure (k2)

are able to outline and explain historical and current trends in the development of polymer materials (k2)

can explain the physical principles and models for the viscoelasticity of plastics and apply time/temperature shift principles (k2)

Classification and essential characteristics of polymer materials; structure and internal mobility of plastics; physical and morphological structures and essential property characteristics of amorphous and semi-crystalline thermoplastics, as well as of thermosets, elastomers and liquid crystalline polymers and of polymer alloys, polymer blends and composites; polymer physics fundamentals and concepts; structure-property-performance relationships.

Criteria for evaluation Written examination with transparent points system and allocation of grades; oral examination possible on request if the written examination is passed.
Methods Lectures with PPT and distribution of templates; practical demonstration examples on a case-by-case basis.
Language German
Changing subject? No
Further information The subject of plastics technology is used for the scientific and technical professional training of plastics technicians and qualifies students for further Master's studies with a focus on plastics technology, economic technology or chemical technology.

In particular, the subject of plastics engineering is used to teach practical and theoretical content from materials science and testing of polymer materials, general and special characterization of polymers, plastics processing, plastics machine and tool construction, applied thermal engineering and rheology, dimensioning and design of plastic and composite components and component testing.

This course is held either in German or English in consultation with the students. At least, lecture notes or book recommendations will be provided in German and English. The examination can be taken in either German or English.
