Course description and aims
It is essential to learn synthetic methods of polymers for polymer science and engineering. In fact, polymerization capabilities of monomers and initiator species are different depending on chemical structures of monomers. Furthermore, polymerization conditions and mechanisms are also different depending on combinations of monomers and initiators. Chain polymerization is a universal concept on synthesis of vinyl polymers. The purpose of this course is to learn "radical polymerization", "radical copolymerization", "cationic polymerization", "anionic polymerization", and so forth. For students at the other graduate majors, this course provides the opportunity to learn about frontier researches in the fields related to polymer chemistry.
Chain polymerization is an essential method for synthesizing vinyl polymers from vinyl monomers, and many general-purpose polymers are synthesized by chain polymerization. This course provides explanation of the basics of polymer synthesis by chain polymerization to students who do not have backgrounds of polymer science and engineering.
Student learning outcomes
Students will acquire the following abilities by taking this course.
1) Students can explain chain polymerization by radical, cationic, anionic, and metal compound initiators.
2) Student can explain methods for regulating molecular weights and their distributions of polymers and for introducing functional groups to polymer chain ends.
