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. Class code: cc2cqyd |
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”. |

Assessment/Grading |
Standard study time set by our university is required to get the grade. The rate of evaluation is as follows. Normal score (every time): 30%, midterm and final exams: 70% are totally evaluated. Questions are designed to assess the understanding of and the ability to explain the topics dealt in the lectures. Grade will be given according to the following criteria: S: ≧90 points, A: 90> and ≧80 points, B: 80> and ≧70 points, C: 70> and ≧60 points. Past grade distribution 2022年度 S 12%, A 40%, B 24%, C 14%, D 10% 2021年度 S 13%, A 41%, B 29%, C 14%, D 3% |
