OBJECTIVES:
• To provide the basic knowledge of polymers and its classification.
• To make aware of characterization of polymers and its application.

UNIT I

BASICS OF POLYMERS

9

Basics–polymer classifications based on occurrence, types, process and uses. Kinetics and mechanism of free radical, cationic, anionic, living polymers and coordination polymerization– Ziegler Natta catalysts-monometallic mechanism–stereo regular polymerization–chain transfer reaction and constant.

UNIT II

WATER SOLUBLE POLYMERS

9

Synthetic water-soluble polymers, preparation, properties and applications of polyvinyl alcohol – polyvinylpyrrolidone – polyacrylic acid and its homolog’s – polyacrylamide – polyethylene oxide – polyethylene mine.


UNIT III

BIO AND INORGANIC POLYMERS

9

Naturally occurring polymers –starch, proteins, cellulose – Derivatives of cellulose polymers – rayon, cellophane, cellulose acetate, butyrate and nitrate – ethyl cellulose –carboxy methyl cellulose- preparation, properties- application organometallic polymers – co-ordination polymers– polyamides- Inorganic polymers - phosphorous and nitrogen containing polymers –silicones – hybrid polymers – iniferters.

UNIT IV

TESTING OF POLYMERS

9

Elemental and Chemical Analysis, Compositional Analysis, Thermal Analysis, Physical Properties

UNIT V

APPLICATION OF POLYMERS

9

Overview on application of polymers in Automotive, Aerospace, Building, Consumer Goods and Packaging. Detailed study on application of polymers in pharmaceutical formulations- solid dosage form-transdermal drug delivery – targeted drug delivery – nanoformulations and cosmetics.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES: The students will be able to
