ASSISTANT PROFESSOR BAHADIR UYULGAN

Offered to

Mechanical Engineering Mechanical Engineering (Evening) Metallurgical and Materials Engineering

Course Objective

The aim of this course is to provide students with fundamental knowledge and skills in the production, processing and characterization of polymers.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Fundamental Understanding of Polymers: Students learn about the chemical structure, molecular structure, and basic properties of polymers. 2   Polymer Production: Students understand the manufacturing processes of polymers, become familiar with polymerization reactions, and learn how polymers are synthesized. 3   Polymer Processing Techniques: The course teaches students about different techniques used to process polymers. These techniques can include extrusion, injection molding, casting, and composite manufacturing. 4   Polymer Characterization: Students learn various analysis methods used for characterization of polymers. They gain skills to understand and apply methods such as thermal analysis, spectroscopic analysis and mechanical testing. 5   Polymer Performance and Quality Control: The course teaches students how to evaluate the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of polymers. They also understand quality control processes. 6   Polymer Applications: Students learn how polymers are used in a wide range of applications, including the plastics industry, automotive industry, medical device manufacturing, and electronics. 7   Sustainability: Students understand the environmental impact of polymers and address issues of sustainable production and recycling.
