The main topics involved in the processing of polymers will be explored. These include a brief review of transport phenomena and basic rheological equations, more specialize approaches to polymer rheology and application of these approaches to unit operations in polymer processing.

7 labs will take the place of Friday class meetings begining the week of January 10'th. (see lab table below.)
