About

The Polymer Physics course offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology covers the basics of physical polymer chemistry including configuration, conformation, molecular weight, physico-chemical behavior of polymers at different states and basic characterization of the structure and properties of polymers.

Overview

What you will learn

After passing the Polymer Physics course offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the student should be able to:

  • Explain concepts and solve problems connected to polymer physics
  • Describe the behavior of polymers based on their structure and physical state
  • Perform laboratory work to characterize polymers by experimental techniques and basic computer simulations
  • Present and evaluate laboratory work in written and orally
  • Reflect over the sustainability of materials

Programme Structure

The program focuses on:

  • Conformation and configuration. 
  • Molecular weight and its determination. 
  • The behavior of polymers in solution. 
  • Blends and multicomponent systems. 
  • Crosslinked polymers and rubber elasticity. 
  • Amorphous state and glass transition. 
  • Morphology and crystalline state.
