Course: A Practical Introduction to Properties and Processing of Thermoplastic Polymers

Get a comprehensive introduction to polymers, their behavior, the basics of processing along with environmental aspects at this new course (BIMS-0), which is ideal for newcomers in the field of plastics (freshly out of school or switching jobs from a non-plastic related activity).

The course will explore polymers and plastics innovative and practical applications, giving the participants an understanding of the unique chemistry and structural intricacies defining polymer behavior. Furthermore the course will explore the art of selecting the right plastic for any application,  give an introduction to critical factors that influence performance and durability and will cover base data about thermal and electrical behavior, where polymers reveal their remarkable adaptability and versatility in various environments.

We will also closely examine the mechanical response and flow properties of thermoplastics, providing invaluable knowledge crucial for the diverse applications across industries.
