Excellent course and every lecture is full of understanding.
Hardening, Polymers, Properties
This course will introduce age hardening and how to use a phase diagram to identify an alloy that is eligible for age hardening. The key factors that affect nucleation and crystal growth will be investigated. In addition, an introduction to polymer science will be given. The key differences between thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers will be introduced. Strengthening mechanisms will be introduced. We explore what happens to the properties of a polymer as you increase or decrease the extent of cross-linking. major polymer synthesis methods will be shown. We will review polymer selection for various applications. In addition, how structural properties vary with temperature will be presented. We explore the significance of the glass transition temperature of a polymer to its thermal and mechanical properties.

Reviewed Nov 26, 2023It was a very nice course and very informative, I have learned about polymers before but not in great details like this course, the problem is in week 2 it feels like the video is not complete in explaining the difference between coherent and semi coherent etc. and some questions felt like not related to what was explained.
