Explores ceramic powder transformation through fragmentation operations, particle rupture mechanisms, and interparticle forces like van der Waals forces.
Explores ceramic manufacturing processes, from drying to sintering and grain growth, emphasizing the importance of proper conditioning before sintering.
Explores the basics of polymer synthesis, focusing on controlling molecular weight through reaction parameters and strategies like stoichiometry and chain stoppers.
Explores the mechanisms of polymer synthesis, including radical chain polymerization and the synthesis of high molecular weight poly(lactic acid) for compostable materials and biomaterials.
Explores polymer synthesis basics, including step and radical chain polymerization, molecular weight control, copolymerization, and crosslinked polymers for microengineering.
