Course description and aims
It is essential for the study of polymer science and engineering to understand production methods, properties, and functions of polymeric materials from the viewpoint of chemistry. In the fields of polymer technologies and industries, monomer species, polymerization methods, molding processing methods and so forth are optimized based on a variety of previously accumulated fundamental knowledge of polymers. Production costs and social needs should also be considered comprehensively. The purpose of this course is to learn about the "polymeric materials and chemistry", "polymerization methods and commodity polymers", "electronic materials and functional polymers", “medical materials and polymers” and so forth.
Understanding and discussion of industrial synthesis methods, structures, physical properties, and functions of general-purpose polymers from the viewpoint of chemistry are significant for applying previously learned fundamental knowledge of polymer chemistry.
Student learning outcomes
Students will gain the following abilities from this course.
1) Students can explain industrial production methods and applications of polymers synthesized by chain or step-growth polymerizations.
2) Students can explain structures, physical properties, and functions of polymers utilized for daily necessaries, electronic materials, separation membranes, and medical materials.
Keywords
general-purpose polymer, functional polymer, radical polymerization, ionic polymerization, coordination polymerization, ring-opening polymerization, polymer reaction, electronic material, separation membrane, pi-conjugated polymer, organometallic polymer, hybrid material, fluoropolymer, medical polymer

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
Not fixed.
Reference books, course materials, etc.
Materials for this course are distributed.
Assessment criteria and methods
Understanding of production methods and general purpose applications, as well as functional polymers is evaluated by examination (90%) and report (10%).
