Synthesis of Polymeric Materials

Course information provided by the 2024-2025 Catalog. Courses of Study 2024-2025 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

Advanced course covering synthesis of high molecular weight polymers and their structure-property tradeoffs. Introduction to basic physical characterization and the influence of molecular weight, molecular design and polymer architecture on properties and applications. Review of modern synthesis tools and strategies. Polymer families to be considered include: opto-electronic polymers, photopolymers, liquid crystal polymers, block polymers, biomimetic polymers, and common synthetic polymers. Synthesis tools include: step growth polymerization, chain growth polymerization, living polymerization and biosynthesis.
