The course is aimed at the description of the experimental procedures related to the measurement of the main properties of polymeric materials, focussing the attention on the instrumental aspects.

The course will also discuss the basic concepts for the statistical representation of the data and for the evaluation of the errors related to the measurement.

The course will illustrate the most employed techniques for the evaluation of:
- process properties of thermoplastic polymers (melt index and density of polymer melts);
- thermal properties of polymeric materials (technological properties);
- mechanical properties of polymeric materials (evaluated both at low and high - impact - loading rates);
- density of polymeric materials in the solid state.
