The aim of the course:
The course aims to provide the students with a detailed knowledge on polymerization techniques and industrial applications, to enable them to understand how polymerization reactions develop to form new polymeric materials, to help them use their knowledge to understand the chemical processes taking place on polymerization, to teach them how to search for new polymers and how to sustain a livable environment and clean chemical processes in polymeric reactions.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : summarise a detailed knowledge on polymerization techniques and industrial applications,3,6,7,81
LO - 2 : describe polymerization reactions develop to form new polymeric materials3,6,7,81
LO - 3 : to help them use their knowledge to understand the chemical processes taking place on polymerization3,6,7,81
LO - 4 : search for new polymers and how to sustain a livable environment and clean chemical processes in polymeric reactions.3,6,7,81
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), LO : Learning Outcome
