BIOPOLYMERS

Teacher in charge:

• Anne JONQUIERES


Objectives: Natural biopolymers were the first polymers to be used and are currently regaining an increasing interest for the development of more environment-friendly plastics. The first part of this lecture presents their structure, their modifications and their applications limited to the field of polymer materials.

September 2005 -31-

Today, synthetic biopolymers also know an unprecedented development which should increase in the coming years because a few of them can be produced from renewable resources and are therefore being considered as interesting alternatives to petrochemical polymers. The different types of synthetic biopolymers are presented and their possibilities of “biodegradation” are discussed. Therefore, the second part of this lecture develops the different approaches currently used by the industrials to develop plastics with less environmental impact.

Program: Natural biopolymers and derivatives: natural rubber, cellulose and cellulosic derivatives, starch, lignocellulose and protein-based materials.

Synthetic “biopolymers”: the different approaches currently developed to minimise the impact of plastics on the environment. Photo-biodegradable hydrocarbon polymers (e.g. polyethylene with pro-oxidants, a few ethylene-based copolymers), hydro-biodegradable biopolymers: poly(glycolic acid), poly(lactic acid) and its copolymers, and polyhydroxyalkanoates.

DEGRADATION AND STABILISATION OF POLYMERS

Teacher in charge:

• Anne JONQUIERES


Objectives: Ageing and degradation of polymers represent high stakes for the related industry because they are responsible for a progressive degradation of the polymer properties which would have a tremendous economical impact if it were not properly controlled.

In the first part, this lecture presents the different methods for investigating polymer degradation and gives the basic concepts of the different degradation mechanisms and their impact on the material properties.

In the second part, the focus is made on the different strategies which have been developed to fight against polymer degradation. The different types of stabilisation agents are presented and their respective roles are underlined in order to give a first global approach of polymer stabilisation. The issue of the environmental impact of these additives is also briefly addressed because it is

September 2005 -33-

certainly one of the challenges that material engineers will have to take up in the near future.

Program: The different types of polymer degradation: physical, mechanical and chemical ageing. Principles for the strategies of investigation of polymer ageing: kinetic approach and modelling, ageing tests on site and accelerated ageing tests.

The different mechanisms for chemical ageing: thermal, oxidative, photo-oxydative, hydrolytic, radiochemical degradations and biodegradation etc.

The different types of stabilisation agents: thermal stabilisers, photochemical stabilisers, fungicidal and bactericidal stabilisers, fireproof stabilisers. Brief overview of the environmental impact of stabilisers.

Objectives: This course provides the students with the fundamental bases of polymer reaction engineering. This will enable the students to understand that the quality of polymers depends not only on the type of polymerisation reaction but also on the type of reactor and interactions between both. Moreover, they will be taught that a polymer processing machine such as a screw extruder can also be used as a chemical reactor.

Program: Classical polymerisation processes: description of the quality of polymers (molecular weights and molecular weight distribution, etc.); presentation of the main features, advantages and disadvantages of polymerisation processes in solution, in bulk, in suspension and in emulsion. Introduction to the basic concepts of performance and selectivity of polymerisation reactors. Modelling of polymerisation reactions and reactors. Examples of industrial polymerisation processes: commodity polymers and engineering polymers.
