MATE 604 Principles of Polymerization I 3.0 Credits
This course focuses on the underlying principles which govern the synthesis of macromolecules and methodologies to control polymer structure. Chemical reactions, kinetics, polymerization parameters, and statistics involved in step-growth, chain-growth, and controlled/living polymerizations will be reviewed. The impact of different polymerization strategies and formulations will be discussed as they relate to polymer molecular weight, functionality, and dispersity, along with their influence on macromolecular architecture and structure.
