Polymer Chemistry

Course outline:

This course introduces the basics of the major methods of polymer synthesis. This course provides students with the fundamental tools necessary to understand the structure/property relationships of polymers. This course also shows students how the control of polymerization reactions by a judicious choice of initiator or catalyst systems and experimental synthesis conditions can produce perfectly defined macromolecular structures and architectures.

Learning objectives:

At the end of the course, the student will be able to use the major concepts of polymer chemistry and propose methods suitable for the characterization of polymers in solution and in solid state and to control them for some of them (DSC, SEC, RMN, MALDI-ToF).
