Course description
This course is taught by Kenji Sugiyama, a part-time lecturer. He is the faculty member in charge is a professor for many years in the Faculty of Engineering at Hosei University, and has long been contributing to research and education in polymer chemistry, and has a reputation for teaching polymer chemistry in an easy-to-understand way to even beginners. In this lecture, we will study polymer synthesis centered on addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. In addition, the contents of the course may be changed due to class organization.
