Develop essential physical sciences skills with expert instruction and practical examples.
Enroll now in Introduction to Polymer Chemistry and learn the fundamentals of polymer chemistry. Learn about materials science concepts and chemistry. This course is designed to provide you with clear and straightforward explanations, making it easy to understand the fundamental concepts.
In this course, we will cover the essential concepts that will give you a strong foundation in polymer science. You'll learn how to calculate the molecular weight of a polymer, the difference between crystalline and amorphous domains in polymers. We are also will explain the glass transition temperature (Tg) and melt transition temperature (Tm) of polymers.
Moving on, we will focus on some key synthetic polymers widely used in various industries. You will learn how polyesters, polyamides, polycarbonates, and polyurethane are made through step-growth polymerization. We will explain chain-growth polymerization.
You will discover the main differences between step-growth and chain-growth polymerization. We will introduce the coordination polymerization, a special type of catalytic polymerization. The course covers also the ring-opening polymerization.
