Erweiterte Makromolekulare Chemie

What it is about

You learn fundamentals and current developments of macromolecular chemistry with a focus on catalytic production and special functionalities of polymers. In the end you will be able to classify polymers according to catalysis principles, assign technological properties (e.g., conductivity, thermal stability, LCST) and distinguish technical applications as well as industrial production aspects.

What you will be able to do

• Classify polymers manufactured catalytically according to catalysis principles
• Assign technical properties such as conductivity, thermal stability and thermoresponsive properties
• Name specialty and high-performance polymers and their technical applications
• Differentiate industrial production processes of plastics
• Differentiate copolymers by microstructure and describe composition based on copolymerization parameters
