Course description and aims
This course focuses on polymeric assemblies, and gives an overview of preparation methods and their principles of polymeric assemblies based on various intermolecular interactions. Subsequently, assembled structures, physical properties, and functions of polymeric assemblies are outlined. Not only assemblies of polymers but also small-molecular assemblies, which apparently behave as polymeric assemblies, are included. Self-assembly in solutions, monolayers on water or solid surfaces, polyelectrolyte multilayers on solid surfaces, etc. are the topics of this course.
The aim of this course is to deeply understand preparation methods and their principles, assembled structures, physical properties, and functions of polymeric assemblies, and to gain ability to propose research ideas about polymeric assemblies.
Student learning outcomes
Students will gain the following abilities from this course.
1) Students can explain preparation methods and their principles of polymeric assemblies composed of small molecules or polymers.
2) Students can explain structures, physical properties, and functions of polymeric assemblies composed of small molecules or polymers.
Keywords

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.
