Chem 136: Polymer Synthesis (Active Learning Class)

Spring 2016, Spring 2018
Course Description: Chem157 Polymer synthesis is a new senior level course for undergraduate and graduate students desiring training in polymer chemistry. This course covers a broad spectrum of polymer synthesis methods, reaction mechanism and characterization methods. Students will actively participate in the learning process, which involves oral presentation, retrosynthesis practice and research proposal development.
Books: Synthesis of Polymers: New Structures and Methods, by A. Dieter Schluter, Craig J. Hawker and Junji Sakamoto
Educational Objectives:
  • Extend the fundamental knowledge from organic synthesis to polymer synthesis
  • Evaluate common products to recognize polymer components and identify their purpose
  • Manage different polymer reaction mechanisms
  • Analyze polymers using different characterization techniques
  • Enhance skills for scientific presentations through practice and feedback
  • Retrosynthetic analysis of polymer structures
  • Develop new polymer synthetic route for desired properties and applications
