Introduction
The aim of this course shall provide in an easy-to-follow way the physical and chemical foundations for the various characteristics, the basic working principles of the analytical approaches, the pitfalls, and limitations, and try to use examples taken from the latest scientific literature illustrating the state-of-the-art. The course shall not have the ambition to derive all relationships and offer an axiomatic and encyclopedic treatment, but be practical and relevant, focusing on the key questions of polymer analysis and characterization and the most recent developments.
This course is part of:
At the end of the course, learners are able to:
1. Understand characterization challenges and methods to tackle these is the focus. A case-study based approach will be employed.
2. Provide basic knowledge and ability to successfully solve new characterization problems by navigating through the relevant literature.
To meet the requirement of SkillsFuture Singapore, assessment(s) will be conducted during every course. The assessment(s) include:
- In-Class Assignments
- Quizzes
- Symposium
- Final Examination
Suitable for professionals working in engineering, Quality Control, Failure Analysis, Manufacturing and R&D.
