Design and Analysis of Polymeric Systems

Description

This is an advanced course that focuses on several selected topics to deepen the knowledge on polymer science and technology. After the first part the students - understand the relation between polymer synthesis and the resulting structural parameters of polymers. After the second part the students - are aware of the modern analytical techniques to identify structural parameters of polymers and can relate them to their physical properties in solid state and solution. After the third part the students - have been introduced to the raw material sources for polymers, also of biopolymeric origins. After the last part the students - understand the design space offered by typical polymerization processes to obtain polymers with desired properties.
