 LPTC

3003

OBJECTIVES: To enable the students
• To learn about the general methods of preparation, properties and application of different specialty plastics.
• To understand the concept of reinforcement and know the properties of different reinforcements.
• To study the structure, properties and application of fibre reinforced thermoplastic and thermoset composites.
• To understand the concept of compatibility and study the structure and properties of important commercial blends.
• To study the effect of different mineral fillers on the properties of engineering thermoplastics.
• To know the structure, property and applications of bio and electrically active polymers.

UNIT I

9

Thermoplastic Elastomers, Speciality polymers viz.PEEK, polyimides, PAI & Ionomer, Liquid Crystalline polymers Metallocene Polymers. High tech-areas for applications of plastics. High & Low Temperature Polymers. Interpenetrating Polymers Networks. Ultra-high modulus fibres. Polymeric foams.

UNIT II

9

Reinforced Plastics – principles of composite reinforcement, effect of reinforcement on strength of plastics, Role and nature of binders and coupling agents, properties and applications of fibres in reinforcement (glass and carbon), Properties and applications of FRP’s (Thermoset & Thermoplastics: un-saturated polyesters, epoxies, PU, nylon) End use applications - case studies on applications


UNIT III

9

Definition, advantages of polymers, blends and alloys, role of composition, properties and applications of parameters for compability, PVC – Nitrile rubber, ABS-PVC and PP-EPDM

UNIT IV

Polyolephines, Nylons & Polycarbonates with fillers like Glass, Mica, Talc, Caco, etc Polymer Concretes & Advanced ceramic

UNIT V

12

Preleminary concepts of new materials such as electrically active polymers, Optoelectronic plastics, Bio-polymers, membrane plastics in bio medical applications.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES:
Students would have clear understanding about the structure and properties of different speciality plastics. They also learn the importance of reinforcement in composites. They also understand about the role of compatibiliser on the properties of different polymer blends.They also know about the structure and properties of different mineral filled thermoplastic materials.
