CHEM 551 - Polymer Chemistry

Credits: 3

Polymer chemistry studies the chemical synthesis and chemical and physical properties of polymers. It is one of the most relevant of the sub-disciplines of chemistry with large number employment opportunities. This course is designed to familiarize students with the basic structure, classification, synthetic techniques, physical properties and utilization of polymer compounds and to show the interrelation of basic polymer concepts with their everyday use. Students will gain current knowledge of polymer concepts and an ability to apply them in career situations.
