Properties of Polymer Raw Material
This short course provides participants with essential knowledge of polymer raw materials and their role in plastics processing. It covers the fundamentals of polymer science, resin properties, and rheology, while linking material characteristics to fabrication methods and product performance. Practical demonstrations and a guided workshop tour will reinforce the understanding of how raw materials behave during different processes.
By the end of the course, participants will:
- Understand the fundamentals of polymers and the process of polymerization.
- Learn about the properties, flow behavior, and processability of polymer resins in molten form.
- Identify the characteristics of commodity and engineering plastics and their applications.
- Explore key plastic fabrication processes, including:
o Injection Molding
o Blow Molding
o Extrusion (Film, Sheet, and Pipe)
o Other related fabrication techniques
- Distinguish between amorphous and crystalline polymers, supported by a live demonstration on an all-electric injection molding machine.
- Observe real industrial practices through a workshop tour at HIPF to connect theory with practice.
This course is ideal for professionals, technicians, and operators seeking to strengthen their understanding of polymer raw materials, their properties, and their impact on plastics manufacturing.
