Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, design, implement and operate compounds, products and materials to specific properties and physical, chemical and biochemical solutions/processes leading to obtaining these materials by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical, safety and environmental).
• Identify complex problems to be solved and formulate the specifications by integrating client needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• Based on modelling, design one or more products/processes/solutions addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out missions of chemical engineering and materials science, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately apply knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to the field of chemistry and materials science.
• Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of chemistry and materials science.

Learning Outcomes of UE

The master students will be able to identify the key-parameters about polymeric materials in function of their structure and thermal/mechanical properties. They will be also able to establish the technico-scientific issues about polymeric materials in the frame of given applications such as packaging and electronics.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

The outline of the TU is: Plastic materials in industry (classification and main families). Selection of plastic materials (mechanical, thermal and optical properties, and so on.) Physicochemical behaviors of plastic materials (viscoelasticity, melt-viscosity and blending, and so on.) Polymer processing (injection, blowing, so on.)
