POLYMERIZATION ENGINEERING

 LPTC

3003

OBJECTIVES: To enable the students
• To understand various polymerization techniques and catalysts used to produce addition polymers.
• To understand the copolymerization technique to produce important co-polymers
• To learn the manufacturing of thermosetting molding powders from phenol formaldehyde and melamine

UNIT I

9

Industrial methods of polymerization such as a bulk, solution, emulsion, suspension. Layout and arrangement of polymer plant. Stereochemistry of polymers and stereo- specific polymerization.

UNIT II

9

Catalysts-their utility in polymers and stereo-specific polymerizations - Zieglar-Natta, Metallocene and other catalystss.


UNIT III

9

Manufacturing processes of basic raw materials and intermediates of synthetic polymers. Production technology, properties and application of important plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride.

UNIT IV

9

Brief introduction of copolymers based on the common monomers such as ethylene, vinyl chloride, styrene, acrylates and methacrylates etc.

UNIT V

9

Formaldehyde and its reaction products with phenol, urea and melamine. Preparation of moulding powders.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES:
Students will have clear understanding about the various polymerization techniques and catalyst used for the manufacturing of various polymers. They will also learn about properties and applications of commercial plastic materials.
