Course description and aims
[Summary of the lecture]
This course focuses on comprehensive understanding of various characteristics and recent progress of synthetic method of polymers as well as design and synthesis of polymers used in energy-related research field. Students will have a chance to learn various polymerization methods utilized in energy-related research field, basic and recent progress in polymer synthesis by chain polymerization, polymers with special architectures, and basics and recent progress in synthesis by π-conjugated polymers.
[Aim of the lecture]
There have been developments in various polymer synthetic methods. Recently, precise control of molecular weight and stereoregularity of the polymer became possible. This course introduces basics and recent progress in polymer synthesis and how those polymer synthetic methods are utilized in design of new polymers from the viewpoint of application to energy-related research fields.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to
(1) explain the basics and recent progress in polymer synthesis.
(2) explain design and synthesis of the polymers utilized in energy-related research fields.
(3) explain how to design and plan synthetic methods for new polymer materials.
Keywords
