This course explores the field of polymer chemistry. Synthetic methods for polymer preparation will be discussed, including condensation, radical, ionic, and ring-opening approaches. The solid-state structure, phase behavior, and mechanical properties of polymers will be covered, as well as current topics of interest in the literature. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursNote: CHEM 879 is mutually exclusive with CHEM 479. Students shall not receive credit for both.
