Polymerization Course
This Polymerization Course equips you with skills to design and optimise polyethylene production. Master radical and coordination mechanisms, reaction kinetics, molecular weight control targeting Mn ≈150,000 with narrow PDI, branching, microstructure, and process conditions. Link these to properties for flexible packaging using industrial catalyst options, reactor choices, and practical checklists for immediate application in real-world chemistry.
