PT8354 Polymer Physics
UNIT I FUNDAMENTALS OF POLYMER
PHYSICS
Potential energy and
conformational energy of molecules - conformations and configurations, Tacticity,
isomeric states and isomerism in polymers, stereoisomerism, geometric isomerism
- Random coils and average end to end distance - (Derivation only)
UNIT II THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES
Laws of Thermodynamics - Freely jointed and
freely rotating chain models - Entropy and enthalpy Energy driven
and entropy driven elasticity - Thermo elasticity -Thermodynamic treatment - entropic and energetic contributions
(Derivation only).
UNIT III POLYMER CRYSTAL
FORMATION
Amorphous State - Transition temperatures-
Glass transition temperature Theory- Factors
influencing glass transition
Temperature- Crystalline State - polymorphism – Polymer single crystals, lamellae, spherulites –
Crystallinity -factors affecting crystallinity -X-ray diffraction.
UNIT IV CHAIN ORIENTATION
Chain orientation - Concept of chain
orientation - orientation in amorphous and crystalline polymers - Uniaxial and biaxial orientation
practical significance – Orientation processes: spinning Process – Optical Properties of polymers –
Birefringence, Haze, Transparency.
UNIT V POLYMER SOLUTIaONS

types of solutions - Hilderbrand approach, Flory Huggins theory - Thermodynamic view of
miscibility, upper critical solution temperature (UCST), lower
critical solution temperature (LCST) - solubility parameter,determination of
solubility parameter of polymers - theta conditions.
