Course description
Polymer materials are indispensable for our daily life. This course will provide the basics of polymer synthesis via  step-growth polymerization, polymer reactions such as functional-group transformations, cross-linkage, degradation, and recycle, and an overview of functional polymer materials.
Expected Learning
Students will acquire the knowledge for the polymer synthesis via step-growth polymerization and polymer reactions and a foundation in developing new functional polymer materials. This course would be essential for better understanding of “Physics of Polymers and Texiles I and II”.
Course schedule
This course will cover Chapters 6, (mainly Section 2, 4-3, 4-4, 5-1, and 6), 7, and 8 in the text. The approximate order of topics to be covered and examination is given below.

1) Chapter 6, Section 2-1: Polycondensation
General features, polymerization methods, kinetics and rates of polymerization, molecular weight, control of first-order structure, and characteristics of the obtained polymers

2) Chapter 6, Section 2-2: Polyaddition
General features, polymerization methods, and characteristics of the obtained polymers

3) Chapter 6, Section 2-3: Addition-condensation polymerization
General features, polymerization methods, and characteristics of the obtained polymers

4) Chapter 6, Section 4-3: Chain-growth condensation polymerization
General features, polymerization mechanism, and control of first-order structure

5) Chapter 6, Section 4-4: Addition-condensation polymerization
General features and polymerization methods

6) Chapter 7, Section 1: Functional-group transformations
Reactivity of macromolecules, Reaction between macromolecules and low-molecular-weight compounds, Inter- and intramolecular reactions of macromolecules

7) Chapter 7, Section 2: Cross-linkage of macromolecules
Gelation, thermal- and light-curing reactions, and physical cross-linking

8) Chapter 7, Section 4: Degradation and recycle of polymers Cross-linkage of macromolecules
Thermal degradation, photolytic degradation, biodegradation, and chemical recycle

9) Chapter 8: Biopolymers
Proteins, nucleic acids, sugars, enzymes, and catalysis
Prerequisites
Knowledge of organic chemistry is essential for understanding polymer chemistry. Students are required to understand the topics in Organic Chemistry I, II, and III as well as the topics in Polymer Chemistry I.
