Course objectives
Introduction. Monomers. Initiation reactions. Propagation. Radical polymerization. Anionic polymerization. Cationic polymerization. Coordination polymerization. Copropagation and copolymers. Termination reactions and transfer. Polymerization kinetics. Chain reactions. Polycondensation, multiple polyaddition. Macromonomers. Molecular weights and their distribution. Methods of the research. Chemical reactions of polymers. Important polymers from the viewpoint of their production, properties and application fields. The aim of the course is to get an overview of synthetic methods leading to polymers.
