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 applications using industrial catalyst choices, reactor operations, and practical tools for immediate use in chemistry.
