Polymerization Course
In this Polyethylene Polymerization Mastery Course, you will learn key polymerisation mechanisms, reaction kinetics, branching control, and process optimisation to produce polyethylene with Mn ≈150,000, narrow PDI, and tailored properties for flexible packaging. The course links molecular structure to performance using real industrial practices, catalyst selection, kinetic models, and analytical techniques like GPC and NMR for practical applications in chemical engineering.

What will I learn?
This course provides a clear guide to designing and improving polyethylene production processes. Learners will gain expertise in radical and coordination polymerisation methods, reaction kinetics, and molecular weight management to achieve Mn around 150,000 with precise distribution. It covers how branching, microstructure, and operating conditions influence material properties for packaging uses, including practical industrial data, catalyst options, and checklists for immediate use.
