CHEM 723 Advanced Polymer Chemistry
This course covers the most recent progress in advanced Polymer Chemistry. The main objective of the course is to make the students aware of how advanced polymer synthesis and characterization and methodologies. This includes sequence-controlled polymerization, Controlled radical polymerisation techniques, Polymerisation by radiation or in ordered states, Polymerisation of alkyne monomers, Click chemistry in polymer synthesis and modification, Green/renewable/recyclable polymers and Macromolecular engineering. After selecting a topic of interest, students will independently conduct an in-depth critical review of the literature and write a review article in the style of a professional body review journal (e.g. Acc. Chem. Res., Chem. Rev., Chem. Soc. Rev.). The articles will be made available to all students who will offer peer feedback. Each student will deliver a seminar on their chosen topic to the whole group who will peer-assess the seminar and provide feedback.
