Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain the basic reaction in polymer synthesis.
2) Describe the structures of polymers.
3) Explain the basic concept of polymer solution
4) Explain the relation between structures and properties of polymers.
5) Describe the various properties of polymers.
6) Explain high-performance polymers and functional polymers.
7) Explain bio-polymers.
