Course description and aims
This course introduces the fundamentals and recent advances of polymer synthesis and polymer reaction. Students will learn the synthetic methods of polymers and polymer reactions. Moreover, this course provides an opportunity to learn about frontier researches in the fields related to polymer chemistry.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to: 1) Explain the concepts of step- and chain-polymerizations. 2) Explain the fundamentals of polymer reaction. 3) Explain unique structured polymers. 4) Explain functional polymers.
Keywords
Polymer synthesis, Polymer reaction, Polymer materials
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Every time, students are given exercise problems related to the lecture given that day to solve.
Course schedule/Required learning
| Course schedule | Required learning | |
