Kunststoffcharakterisierung und -analyse

What it is about

You will learn various analysis methods for plastics — from thermal and mechanical test procedures through rheological measurements to aging and damage analyses — including measurement principles, sample preparation and interpretation of results. In the end you will be able to select suitable analysis methods, evaluate measurement results and derive conclusions for material selection and application from the data.

What you will be able to do

• Determine plastic properties from analysis data
• Describe the operating principles of essential analytical methods
• Differentiate and identify various polymer classes
• Link analysis results with polymer structure and chemistry
• Derive suitable analytical methods for research questions
• Derive recommendations for material use from analysis findings

What the module consists of

• VorlesungConveying the basics of plastics and analytical methods as well as practical examples
• LaborübungenPractical application of measurement methods and sample preparation
• Selbststudium (Hausübungen)Deepening of content and evaluation of results
