Earners of this badge are exposed to an overview of the many different families of commercially available polymeric materials by attending a one day, seven hour seminar. Earners also examine the basic concepts of polymerization through structure/property relationships and post-reactor modification, value-added compounding, important thermomechanical properties, design considerations, fundamentals of the various processing schemes, and material selection criteria for commercial end-uses.
