Physical and mechanical properties of polymers in solid and liquid states. Polymer solutions.
Polymer solution properties.

-Fondamenti di scienza dei polimeri (testi AIM). M. Guaita, F. Ciardelli, F. La Mantia, E. Pedemonte (Edizioni Nuova Cultura)
- Polymer Physics. M. Rubinstein, R. Colby

Students will learn the molecular origin of the macroscopic characteristics of polymer systems. Particular attention will be paid to the mechanical properties of the polymers.
Students will also learn the basical physical-mathematical skills necessary for the analysis of polymeric systems.
