Lecture (2 SWS), seminar (1 SWS)
(SWS stands for‚ hours per week per semester)

The module provides an introduction to a modern poly­mer chemistry starting with general principles of polymerization, and polymerization kinetics (step-growth and chain growth), but also advancing to controlled and living polymerization techniques, end functionalisation of polymers, and solution be­haviour of different polymer classes. Students will also be introduced to different characterization tools for polymers, i.e. different techniques for molar mass determination. Furthermore, different subtopics will introduce important application fields of polymeric materials.

Students understand the fundamental principles of polymers and different important poly­meri­zation mechanisms, and have an understanding on various controlled/living polymerization techniques, and basic characterization methods for the in­vesti­gation of molar mass, and polymer architecture.
The laboratory practical enables students to prepare, isolate and purify polymeric materials using important polymerization techniques, and to analyse materials regarding their molar mass and dispersity.
