Course description and aims
This course covers important basic knowledge, measurement methods, principles of apparatuses, and detailed analysis methods of infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy for the characterization of polymer compounds. The instructor assigns exercise problems for the analysis of various measurements, and students develop the ability to apply it when actually performing the experimental measurements.
Characterization is essential when synthesizing organic materials, including polymeric compounds, and examining their structure and physical properties. Students will acquire the ability to apply various measurements and analyze the obtained measured results for the determination of molecular structures and assembled structures for polymers. Students will gain an understanding of how the characteristic properties of polymers appear in various measurements.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to
1) Explain the fundamentals of spectroscopy.
2) Understand Infrared spectroscopy, and interpret the spectrum.
3) Explain the basis of X-ray diffraction, and understand measurement results.
4) Explain the principle of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and analyze the spectrum.
Keywords
Spectroscopic Analysis, Spectrum, Infrared Spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
