目标

The aim of is subject is provide students with practical experience and to reinforce the understanding of polymerization methods and experimental techniques for characterization and measurement of polymer properties.

先修要求

Polymer Chemistry and Nanotechnology

Teaching Pattern

Methodology Students will work in teams. Laboratory manual containing general background and procedures of the experiments will be provided to students. They will submit comprehensive written reports after the experiments. Students will be assessed based on their written reports, performance during the practical session, and a test to assess their understanding of the underlying and operation principles of the -- 1 of 2 -- experiments.
