| Course description |
| Polymer materials are indispensable for our daily life. This course will provide an overview of polymer chemistry and the basics of polymer synthesis via chain polymerization. |
| Expected Learning |
| Students will acquire the concept of “polymer” and the knowledge of the polymer synthesis via chain polymerization. This course would be essential for better understanding of "Polymer Chemistry II" and "Physics of Polymers and Texiles I and II". |
| Course schedule |
|
This course will cover Chapters 1, 2 and 6 (mainly Section 1, 3 , 4, and 5) in the textbook. The approximate order of topics to be covered and examination is given below.
