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”. For the curriculum policy perspective of this course, please refer to the curriculum map in the Faculty of Engineering Course Guide.
