Course description and aims
[Summary of the lecture]
This course focuses on basic topics on olefin polymerization catalyzed by heterogeneous and homogeneous metal catalysts. Students will have a chance to learn heterogeneous and homogeneous metal catalysts in olefin polymerization, the relationship between catalyst structure and the stereoregularity of the polymer, and heterogeneity and homogeneity in metal catalysts. For students at the other graduate majors, this course provides opportunity to learn about frontier researches in the fields of polymer science.
[Aim of the lecture]
Polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene have been synthesized by olefin polymerization catalyzed by metal catalysts. This course introduces basics in olefin polymerization catalyzed by heterogeneous and homogeneous metal catalysts and the industrial application of those catalysts.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to
(1) explain the basics in olefin polymerization catalyzed by metal catalysts.
(2) explain the characteristics of heterogeneous and homogeneous metal catalysts.
(3) explain the relationships between the structure of catalysts and the stereoregularity of the produced polymer.
Keywords
Polyolefin, polymerization catalysts, heterogeneous catalysts, homogeneous catalysts, Ziegler-Natta catalysts, metallocene catalysts, stereoregularity, metathesis polymerization
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
At the beginning of each class, solutions to exercise problems assigned during the previous class are reviewed. Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to what is taught on that day to solve.
