Course Objectives		1.Structure-temperature relations for usage of polymers as a material. 2. Time-dependent mechanical behavior of polymers and their models. 3.Stress-strain relations of different polymers, measuring methods of mechanical behavior, and the relation between structure and temperature-based mechanical behavior. 4.The type of basic additives used in polymeric materials, their field of usage, and their effects on mechanical behavior. 5. The differences between the traditional polyblends, composites and nanocomposites, their preparation methods and properties.
Course Description		The time-dependent behavior of polymers, stress-strain relations and composite made with polymers will be discussed in the course.
Course Outcomes		I.The structure of polymeric materials, materials selection based on field of usage. II.Behavior of polymeric materials under temperature applications. III.Mechanical models, selection of mechanical model appropriate to the mechanical behavior. IV.Experimental measuring methods with respect to the type of mechanical behavior. V.The type of additives necessary for the properties of final product for special applications. VI. Mechanical behavior difference between plastics and rubber/elastomeric materials. VII.The type of polyblends/composites to change mechanical properties of polymers.
