一、課程說明(Course Description)
Polymer chemistry is significantly important for chemical engineering students.
New polymers with required functions can be developed by taking advantage of
chemical synthesis and various polymerization methods. This course deals with
polymer design and synthesis both at the fundamental and the advanced level.
Various polymerization methods, as listed below, are introduced in this course.
In addition, they are related to the latest academic research and industrial
applications.
