TX4071 Characterization of Textile Polymers Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVE
To enable the students to learn about characterization of polymers used in the production of textile fibres
UNIT I MOLECULAR WEIGHT
Polymer solution thermo dynamics; molecular weight and molecular dimensions by end group analysis, osmometry, light scattering, viscometry, gel permeation chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography
UNIT II MOLECULAR STRUCTURE CHARACTERISATION
Infrared, NMR, UV–visible, Raman spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy
UNIT III THERMAL PROPERTIES
Thermal properties by differential scanning calorimetry, differential thermal analysis, thermo gravimetry, thermo-mechanical analyzer, dynamic mechanical and dielectric analysis
UNIT IV MICROSCOPY
Optical and electron microscopy; TEM, SEM, AFM, X-ray scattering from polymers, birefringence
UNIT V OTHER PROPERTIES
Crystallinity by density measurements, surface area, pore volume measurements by B.E.T. method, porosimetry, surface energy measurements and particle size measurement.
