Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is designed to provide participants with a complete and up-to-date overview of the polymers and polymerization. It covers the different types of polymerization catalyst such as stereospecific and TiCl3 and recognize the mechanism & kinetics of propylene polymerization as well as the copolymerization; the recent development of polypropylene technology including the metallocene catalysts, propylene?ethylene copolymers, propylenea-olefin copolymers and propylene industrial production with metallocene catalyst; and the polypropylene morphology as well as the relationship, behaviour and kinetics of morphology to the structure processing and properties of polypropylene. During this interactive course, participants will learn the rubber modified polypropylene such as the viscosity ratio and its process and identify the injection moulding process; different types of additives to be used in polypropylene such as antioxidants, flame retardants, acid scavengers, nucleating agents, etc; compounding process and acquire knowledge on the usage of fillers and vulcanizers as part of polypropylene compounding technologies; and the future of polypropylene in connection with global environment, price cyclicality and future strategies. link to course overview PDF
