|
Course contents :
|
| Introduction to polymer materials.
This course comprises:
- a general introduction of the specific basics for the polymer chemists allowing to describe the structure and the properties of these materials
- a description of the main families of materials and their applications and processing methods
- the study of the synthesis of polymers via polyconsensation and polyaddition mechanisms (including radical, anionic and coordination). |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| understand the basic tools of macromolecular chemistry to be able to:
- suggest one type of materials for a targeted application on the basis of their physico-chemical properties
- understand the structure/properties relationship of these types of materials
- discuss their synthesis |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Bases in general and organic chemistry |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Three lab sessions (4h each) are scheduled in order to get a practical approach of the main notions of macromolecular chemistry
Their topics are:
- structure/properties relationships of these materials
- macromolecular synthesis and characterization
- properties, processing and applications relationships of these materials |
