Course Description
Polymer Physical Chemistry is a course that studies the structure, energetics, and reaction kinetics before and after small molecules (monomers) become large molecules (macromolecules or polymers). Based on the above understanding, the topics in this course are (1) Definition and structure of polymer molecules, (2) Kinetics and energetics of addition polymerization reactions, condensation polymerization, copolymerization, (3) Solubility of polymers, (4) Transformation of polymers into functional materials, (5) Characterization of polymer molecular weight, (6) Characterization of polymer structures by spectroscopic methods, (7) Characterization of polymer crystallinity, (8) Characterization of polymer strength, (9) Characterization of polymer porosity, (10) Characterization of polymer electrical properties. The above topics are expected to provide students with the development of polymers with extensive uses in everyday life such as packaging containers, land, sea, and air transportation, medicine such as transplantation, pharmacy such as drug carriers, computers, data storage media. Wrapping electrical cables, electronics, etc.
