Polymer Engineering (Polymer Processing)

The course is designed to introduce participants to established engineering principles underlying the conversion of polymer raw material to useful product. The course aims to bridge theoretical perspectives of polymer melt flow with practical experience. The course will cover both melt and solid state processing characteristics of polymers and demonstrate how these influence the choice of processing technologies used by industry. Computer modelling of process flows will also be covered.

This module will be held at Bradford University to allow demonstrations on the equipment there.

The course is presented by Dr M.T. Martyn (MTM) Dr A.L. Kelly (ALK) Dr L. Mulvaney-Johnson (LMJ) Dr R. Patel (RP) Dr P. Caton-Rose (PCR) Dr J. Sweeney (JS)
