Forschungspraktikum Makromolekulare Chemie 2, Laborleistung

What it is about

You work in current research projects in macromolecular chemistry and deepen experimental techniques (e.g. Schlenktechnik, Glovebox, pressure reactors) as well as modern analytics (e.g. photoluminescence, 2D/3D NMR, TGA, DSC, GPC). In the end you will be able to design experimental setups, conduct polymerisations and other syntheses independently, assess safety aspects and interpret analytical data, and present the results in a scientific paper.

What you will be able to do

• Design and implement experimental setups for chemical reactions
• Carry out fundamental reactions independently (including polymerisations)
• Identify and observe safety aspects in laboratory work
• Interpret results from IR, UV, NMR, GPC, TGA, DSC, PL
• Present research results in a scientific, research-oriented write-up
• Derive and plan further experiments from analyses

What the module consists of

• Forschungspraktikumpractical part to deepen manual skills and project-oriented laboratory work (4–8 weeks)
• SelbststudiumSearch and work on primary literature, written elaboration

Teaching method

• LaborarbeitTraining and further development of practical skills and analyses in projects
• Angeleitetes Selbststudium (Literatursuche)Acquiring the ability to research and implement primary literature in syntheses
• Schriftliche DokumentationTeaching appropriate documentation in line with good scientific practice
