Course description and aims
Course description: This course focuses on the fundamentals of polymer chemistry, mainly for the undergraduate students, who major in the Department of Chemical Science and Engineering, School of Materials and Chemical Technology. In particular, this course focuses on the polymer reactions except cross-linking reactions for the undergraduate students, who have learned fundamentals of organic chemistry and polymer synthesis. Also, this course focuses on ring-opening polymerization and living polymerization.
Course aims: Through this course, students can understand the definition and fundamentals of polymer reactions except cross-linking reactions in the field of polymer chemistry. Also, students can understand the definition and fundamentals of ring-opening polymerization and living polymerization.
Student learning outcomes
This course focuses on the fundamentals of polymer chemistry, mainly for the undergraduate students, who major in the Department of Chemical Science and Engineering, School of Materials and Chemical Technology. By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain (i) the classification and characteristics of polymer reactions and (ii) the mechanism and examples of intramolecular and intermolecular polymer reactions.
2) Explain (i) the mechanism and examples of side-chain and chain-end functionalization of polymers and (ii) the synthetic methods of polymer architectures by polymer reactions.
3)Explain (i) the mechanism and examples of artificial and natural polymer catalysts and (ii) the degradation and recycling of polymers from the viewpoint of polymer reactions.
4) Explain (i) the characteristics of ring-opening polymerization and living polymerization and (ii) the mechanism and examples of ring-opening polymerization and living polymerization.
Keywords
Polymer Reactions, Intramolecular Reactions, Intermolecular Reactions, Side-chain Modification of Polymers, Chain-end Modification of Polymers, Polymer Architectures, Polymer Catalysts, Degradation of Polymers, Recycling of Polymers, Ring-opening Polymerization, Living Polymerization
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
The detailed contents of the classes will be shown on the blackboard or projected PowerPoint slides. Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to the lecture given that day to solve. To prepare for class, students should read the course schedule section and check what topics will be covered. Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purposes.
