F3E5052 Transport Properties of Polymers 6.0 credits

The course consists of a project assignment on the theme: mass transport properties of polymers, that the student will carry out, preferably with connections to the students own research. The content of the project is decided jointly between the student and the examiner, but should have a clear connection to the course literature.

The course literature include:

Mechanisms for diffusion. General trends of diffusivity and solubility. Diffusion in elastomers, semicrystalline and amorphous polymers and thermosets. Concentration-dependent diffusion and swelling, measuring methods, membranes and barrier properties. 

That the student obtains a deeper knowledge within the field of mass transport properties of polymers.

Basic polymer knowledge

Mass transport properties of polymers. M.S. Hedenqvist

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
