Course description and aims

This course covers important basic knowledge, methods of measurements, principle of apparatus, and detailed analysis of two-dimensional NMR, thermal analysis, scattering technique, microscopy, computational chemistry for characterization of polymer compounds. Exercise problems for the analysis of various measurements are given for understanding how to use them.

The characterization is essential for synthesis of organic materials, including polymeric compounds, and examining the structure and physical properties. Students will learn how to use various measurements and analyze the measured results for determining polymer structures.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to
1) Explain the two-dimensional NMR.
2) Explain thermal analysis
3) Explain scattering technique.
4) Explain microscopy.
5) Explain computational chemistry

Keywords
