Polymer Physics

This course is designed to be an introduction to Basic Polymer Physics, and will be complementary to those of Basic Polymer Science, Polymer Characterisation, Polymer Chemistry and Polymer Engineering. It will be a course covering a wide range of topics in polymer physics: amorphous polymers, crystalline polymers, characterisation, viscoelasticity, polymer rheology, and oriented polymers. It will be appropriate for those members of the general polymer community wishing to get an update of the current state of polymer physics.

This courseis presented by Professor P. Olmsted (PO) Dr D. Read (DR) Dr A. Voice (AV) Dr D. Adolf (DA) Dr M. Ries (MR) Professor R.A.L. Jones (RALJ) Dr Sarah Harris (SH)
