- Course objectives
- The subject introduces the basic principles of macromolecular chemistry. Main attention will be paid following topics: structure and nomenclature of polymers; molecular weight and distribution of macromolecules; relations of polymers structure and their properties; thermodynamic conditions for originating macromolecules; types of polymerization reactions, kinetics and methods for polymer preparation.
- Syllabus
