Course description and aims
[Summary of the lecture]
This course focuses on comprehensive understanding of physical property and function of polymer used in energy-related research field from molecular scale to macroscopic scale in addition to obtaining knowledge of energy-related functional polymers. Students will have a chance to learn background of physical property of polymer in energy-related research field, and physical property and function of polymer solution, gel, and liquid crystal. In addition, thermal, mechanical, electrical, and optical properties in solid will be explained.
[Aim of the lecture]
Polymer materials are essential in the field of energy-related research field. Polymer has advantages in function and performance compared with ceramics and metals. This course introduces molecular design of functional polymers towards new applications by understanding existing energy-related functional polymers from the viewpoint of function and performance.
