FSAD 6200

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2021-2022.

This course covers physical properties of fiber-forming polymers and fibers. This course introduces requirements for fiber formation, and highlights the morphology of polymers and fibers. This course also emphasizes the structure-property relationship in fibrous polymers. This course discusses fiber structure, relationship between chemical structure and physical properties of fibers; thermal and mechanical properties of fibers, and fiber surface properties, and characterization methods. Both conventional and non-conventional fibers, and their properties and applications are discussed.

When Offered Spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: FSAD 3350, FSAD 4360, any polymer course, or equivalent, or permission of instructor.

Outcomes
  • Understand the basic physical properties of fiber-forming polymers and fibers.
  • Be familiar with the polymer properties critical for fiber formation.
  • Be familiar with the characterization techniques for polymers and fibers, to characterize thermal and mechanical properties of fibers, and fiber surface properties.
  • Interpret scientific data to evaluate the structure-property of the polymers and fibers and develop a strong knowledge on the thermal, mechanical and surface properties of fibers.
  • Develop critical thinking for problem solving in developing or modifying desired fiber properties.
  • Predict the end-use of fibers in relation with their structure-property.
  • Propose new ideas to develop non-conventional fibers.
  • Build scientific writing skills and oral presentation skills.
