Course description and aims
There are frequent examples in macroscopic world that the form of objects underlies the basis of their functions and properties. On the other hand, the fabrication of extremely small objects having precisely defined structures has only recently become an attractive challenge, which is now opening the door to nanoscience and nanotechnology. In the field of synthetic polymer chemistry, the synthesis of a variety of cyclic and multicyclic polymers has still been a formidable challenge, and even the practical means for simple ring polymers has only recently become a subject of intensive researches. These develoments and future perspectives in TOPOLOGICAL POLYMER CHEMISTRY will be discussed in this course and the preceding Soft Materials Chemistry I.
Student learning outcomes
Ongoing challenge in TOPOLOGICAL POLYMER CHEMISTRY is to provide new insights for both basic polymer science and polymer materials engineering. We have disclosed that an electrostatic self-assembly and covalent conversion process is a powerful means to construct a variety of cyclic and multicyclic polymer topologies, and numerous future opportunities are anticipated along with the future progress in topological polymer chemistry. The objective of this course is to provide concepts and practices in TOPOLOGICAL POLYMER CHEMISTRY.
Keywords

Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
In the first half of the class, a summary of the previous lecture followed by the main points of the day's lecture are given. In the latter half, these main points are discussed in detail. Students are occasionally asked to submit the report on some related subject given during the lecture. Always check the required learning for each class and be sure to complete them as part of preparation and review.
