Learning objectives and syllabus

Learning objectives:

1) describe the mechanism and characteristics of different polymerisation reactions
2) describe how different kinds of polymers can be synthesised on a laboratory as well as industrial scale
3) calculate the molecular weight of a polymer with regard to the composition of the feed of a polymerisation reaction
4) suggest analysis methods that permit to characterise the chemical and physical structure of polymers
5) explain the microstructure of polymers
6) describe physical properties of polymers in the melt and in the solid state
7) describe how materials properties are influenced by specific polymer structures
8) describe properties of semi-conducting polymers
