If you want to know more about the B.Tech Plastics Technology Syllabus connected to an affiliated institution’s four-year undergraduate degree program. We provide you with a detailed Year-wise, semester-wise, and Subject-wise syllabus in the following link B.Tech Plastics Technology Syllabus Regulation 2021 Anna University.

Aim of Concept:

To make the student conversant with

  • The basic concepts of polymers, classification of polymers, copolymer types and tactility.
  • The kinetics & mechanism of different types addition polymerization and free radical copolymerization
  • The kinetics & mechanism of two types of condensation polymerization and ring-opening polymerization
  • Various types of polymerization techniques
  • The molecular weight and its distribution and different methods of molecular weight determination.

PT3303 – Polymer Chemistry Syllabus

Unit I: Basic Concepts Of Polymers

Basic concepts of polymers – – Monomers -degree of polymerization– significance of functionality – classification of polymers based on: source, structure, thermal processing behaviour, composition and structure, mechanism, intermolecular forces – nomenclature of polymers –tacticity – copolymers and its types: alternate, random, block and graft copolymers.

Unit II: Addition Polymerisation

Kinetics and mechanism of free radical polymerization: chain transfer, Inhibition and retardation– Kinetics and mechanism of cationic polymerization and anionic polymerisation–living polymers– Ziegler-Nattacatalysts–coordination polymerisation–kinetics of free radical co polymerisation – copolymer equation – monomer reactivity ratio and its significance.

Unit III: Condensation Polymerisation

Kinetics of poly-condensation reactions (acid catalysed and self-catalysed) – ring-opening polymerization – multi-chain polymerization: branching, cross-linking–step-wisecopolymerization– methods of synthesizing copolymers: statistical, alternate and block copolymers.

Unit IV: Polymerisation Techniques

Classification of polymerisation techniques: homogenous and heterogeneous polymerisation – bulk or mass polymerisation – Trommsdr off effect – solution polymerisation– suspension polymerisation–emulsion polymerisation–interfacial polymerisation– melt poly condensation. Advanced Polymerization Techniques – Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP), Group Transfer Polymerization (GTP), Reversible Addition Fragmentation Termination (RAFT).

Unit V: Molecular Weight And Its Distribution

Molecular weight of polymer – number, weight and viscosity average molecular weights – molecular weight distribution (problems) – molecular weight determination: end-group analysis, colligative properties, osmometry, light scattering, gel permeation chromatography and viscometry.
