Explores polymer synthesis basics, including step and radical chain polymerization, molecular weight control, copolymerization, and crosslinked polymers for microengineering.
Explores the classification, molecular structures, mechanical behavior, and viscoelastic properties of polymers, emphasizing temperature effects and material responses.
Explores the mechanisms of polymer synthesis, including radical chain polymerization and the synthesis of high molecular weight poly(lactic acid) for compostable materials and biomaterials.
