授業の目的 【日本語】
Goals of the Course(JPN) | | The purpose of this course is to learn important topics of polymer science. The course begins with basic concepts of polymer, proceeds next to polymerization and synthesis of various polymers, and moves then to characterization, structures, properties, and functions of polymers, and biopolymers.
Upon taking this course, you aim to learn important topics of polymer science, such as what polymers are, how to make polymers, how to characterize polymer properties, how properties are affected by polymer structures, how to design functional polymers, and how biopolymers are different from synthetic polymers. You will get basic knowledge on polymer chemistry first and then abilities to apply the basic knowledge to creating new polymer materials. |
