In presence with attendance of laboratory class required. Slides of the course on Aulaweb.
Mod. I - 6 CFU
Motor oil and additives: viscosity measurements by Hoppler and Engler viscosimeters, viscosity index by Cannon-Fenske viscosimeter, flash point, density measurements.
Gasoline: density measurements, ASTM distillation, flammability, heating value.
Preparation of polymeric composite and nanocomposite.
Polymer and composite material mechanical properties evaluation.
Mod. II - 6 CFU
Synthesis of polymers in bulk and emulsion. Purification of monomer and initiator; correlation between synthetic parameters as monomer and initiator concentration etc. with yield and molecular weight of polymers. Polymers fractionation.
Characterization, as viscosimetric, spectroscopic and thermal measurements of synthesized polymers. Polymer mixing. Measurement of superficial properties of polymeric films, by determination of contact angle.

From 26 of September
Oral examination with evaluation of laboratory report
Oral examination and evaluation of laboratory classes and laboratory reports.
The oral examination is conducted by two professors. They are able to verify the achievement of the learning outcomes. When these are not met, the student is invited to extend the study. To ensure uniformity between the examination topics and those actually carried out during the course, is present into the AulaWeb page a detailed program, so that students themselves can verify adherence.
