CHEM 281 - Polymer Science

This course is designed as an introduction to polymer science, incorporating previous knowledge from organic chemistry, basic inorganic chemistry and physical chemistry to illustrate the key aspects governing the structure-property relationships of macromolecules. An overview of both traditional and state of the art polymer synthesis and polymer characterization techniques will be provided. Several examples from primary scientific literature will serve to integrate the concepts covered in class and will expose the student to relevant technological advances that rely heavily on polymer science. This course seeks to provide students with a broad perspective on how chemistry can be used as the primary tool for developing new materials or modifying existing polymer systems to achieve specific performance targets.

Prerequisites: CHEM 132  or CHEM 134  , CHEM 260  (or BCMB 264  ) or permission of instructor.Completion of  CHEM 231 , CHEM 250  and CHEM 262  are recommended, but not required for graduate students.
