Description
This course will cover theory of polymer synthesis including free-radical polymerization, step-reaction polymerization, copolymerization, and gelation. Some lab and industrial techniques for synthesis will be discussed. The characterization section will cover theory, techniques, and analysis of data by many common characterization methods. Emphasis will be placed on solution and solid-state approaches to polymer characterization.
