Lernergebnisse der Lehrveranstaltung

Derzeit nur in Englisch verfügbar
Students gain insight into the connection of microscopic properties such as chemical structure or tacticity and macroscopic properties such as mechanical properties or solubility. After an introductory session, this knowledge is applied to a number of specific systems always drawing on the didactic triad of structure, synthesis, and properties. “Classical” polymers with great technical significance but also more innovative and less widely used systems are analyzed. Consequently, students acquire a substantial understanding of the general principles which underlie different polymers and of technical manufacturing processes. The course places a particular focus on fundamental chemical mechanisms in order to enable graduates to provide qualified evaluations of the reactivity and properties of specific polymers.
