Explores polymer synthesis basics, including step and radical chain polymerization, molecular weight control, copolymerization, and crosslinked polymers for microengineering.
Explores the Flory approximation for analyzing polymer chain behavior and the impact of excluded volume on chain conformation.
Explores the correct exponent for the end-to-end distance in polymer chains and its implications on chain correlations.
Explores polymer chain architecture, properties, states, types, branching, length, configuration, isomerism, tacticity, polymerization, nomenclature, copolymers, molecular weight distribution, and thermal transitions.
