Course description and aims
This course is mainly targeted at graduate students in the Department of Chemical Science and Engineering. Students can acquire specialized knowledge in polymer chemistry, especially polymer reactions. This course targeted at students who have already taken basic courses related to organic chemistry and polymer chemistry, the instructor lectures about specialized knowledge and cutting edge research related to controlled step-growth polymerization and polymer reactions.
Students get an understanding of specialized knowledge and cutting edge research related to controlled step-growth polymerization and polymer reactions through this course, thereby acquiring continuous knowledge stretching from the basics to the expert level.
Student learning outcomes
Students will be able to do the following by taking this course.
1) understand and explain the different types and features of controlled step-growth polymerization and polymer reactions.
2) explain the principle and examples of cutting edge controlled step-growth polymerization.
3) explain the principle and examples of cutting edge polymer reactions.
Keywords
Controlled step-growth polymerization, Polymer reactions, Cross-linking reactions, Click reactions, Polymer architectures, Polymer mechanochemistry
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
The detailed contents of the classes will be given by using PowerPoint slides. Every time, students are given exercise problems related to the lecture given that day to solve. To prepare for class, students should read the course schedule section and check what topics will be covered. Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purposes.
