Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
This course studies macromolecules properties in solution (determination of molecular weight, ...) and at the solid state in function of temperature (Tg, rheology,...).
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Understanding of the behavior of macromolecules in solution and at the solid state in function of the temperature and its implication in the characterisation and use of these materials.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Basic course introduction to macromolecular chemistry (3rd BAC Prof. C. Jérôme)
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Pratical examples of the measurement of macromolecules molecular weight (GPC, NMR, DLS), thermal behavior (DSC), thermo-mechanical properties (DMA and rheology) in the research lab in the frame of a small research project.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
