Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules

Catalog description

Through lectures and group discussions topics such as electrostatic theory, classical thermodynamics, properties of solutions, and electrolyte theory, are studied. Transport processes such as diffusion and its variants, the resulting effects (such as osmotic pressure), sedimentation theory, viscosity and electrophoresis are topics that will be discussed. In this course, students also have the opportunity to study the subjacent theory of the effects of radiation on molecules such as absorption, fluorescence, magnetic resonance, dispersion, dichroism, dispersion and diffraction of X-rays.
