CHE 505 - Polymers and Macromolecules

The basic principles of polymer and macromolecular science, including synthesis, mechanism, structure/property relationships, characterization, modeling and applications. Prerequisite: CHE 302 and CHE 431 or graduate standing. (3 cr. hr.)
Frequency code C = offered at least once every two years

Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Describe the relationships between polymer molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and the properties of polymeric and macromolecular materials. 
  2. ​Analyze different polymerization reactions and their mechanisms and kinetics. 
  3. Describe the thermal and mechanical properties and viscoelastic behavior of polymers and macromolecules with respect to their chemical structures and molecular weights.
