A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Classes of polymers

Polymers are grouped into classes based on their monomeric units, bonding, and properties. Mastering the four main classes—thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, and composites—helps students predict behaviour under heat, stress, and chemical exposure, which is critical for exam questions on material selection and processing.
