Understanding Structure-Property Relationship for Effective Polymer Selection

On-Demand Course

Recorded onOct 1,2020

Avoid part failure in demanding applications by eliminating the primary cause(wrong material choice) with better selection of your plastics based on sound knowledge of core fundamentals.

Jeff Jansen will help youcorrelate the polymer structure to the end propertiesof thermoplastics (mechanical, thermal, chemical resistance, etc.) so you opt for more reliable plastics given your part design and in-use constraints.

Why should you view this course?

Experts believe that withnew demands being placed on plastic parts, the performance will be even more critical. It is important to understand how such materials behave when in contact withaggressive chemicals, elevated temperature, high mechanical stresses… toavoid risking part failure!

And what is not very obvious is that thepolymeric structure is important to the performance characteristics of molded parts. In fact, the variation within the properties demonstrated by different plastics arises from diversity in their structure. Before designing & producing your next plastic component, join this course to:

  1. Get a deeper understanding of the relationshipbetween molecular structure (crystallinity, polarity, creep, glass transition) and end performance.

  2. Learn how structural properties of a polymer can differas per pendant side-chain groups, branching, tacticity, molecular weight…

  3. Opt for more reliable plasticby efficiently translating in-use constraints and base polymer structure into tangible selection criteria.

  4. Improve performance & durability of thermoplastic parts(polyethylene, polyesters, sulfones, polyaryletherketones…) in demanding applications with practical guidance from the expert.
