Polymer Chemistry Laboratory

Catalog description

A practical introduction to the application of important techniques for polymer synthesis and characterization. Various polymerization approaches will be covered including bulk, solution and emulsion polymerization processes. Methods for analyzing molecular weights and molecular weight distributions will be employed. Instrumental techniques for the characterization of thermal, mechanical and surface properties of polymeric materials will also be emphasized. Lec. 1, Lab 3. Prerequisite: CHM 322 . Offered Spring - Odd Numbered Years.
