TP Analysis of the mechanical properties of polymers

This practical course will enable students to deepen their understanding of the different mechanical and rheological behaviors of polymer systems. It aims to prepare them to use techniques and equipment to identify these properties. They will also be able to analyze and process the data provided.

Polymer Materials: Properties, Forming and Uses

4 of 7 practical exercises carried out:

Viscosimetric analysis of polymers
Dynamic rheological analysis of fluid polymers: principle of time-temperature equivalence
Static mechanical analysis of polymers: effect of structure
Dynamic rheological analysis of polymers: characteristic time and creep
Dynamic mechanical analysis of polymers
Static mechanical analysis of polymers: effect of speed and temperature
Elaboration, shaping and characterization of composites: blending poly(ethylene oxide) and lignin
