Course Overview

The online Polymer Reaction Engineering training will be providing the registered candidates with a complete overview of the principles of the- future as well as current aspects involved in polymer engineering. The core concepts and mechanisms as well applications of the finished polymer product properties will be covered in the certification course. 

The fundamentals and the basics as well as the mechanisms of the chemistry behind the process of polymerization process will also be incorporated in the Polymer Reaction Engineering certification syllabus. Over the course of twelve weeks various concepts such as- reaction initiation, termination, propagation, thermal kinetics, reaction kinetics, molecular weight and physical features such as -morphology, microstructures, fractural strength, and tensile will be elaborately discussed. The online certification course on Polymer Reaction Engineering by Swayam will also discuss the concepts of-  polymerization concepts, kinetics principles, and methodology. Hence the course will be helping the students to develop skills more comprehensively.
