| Contents | ||||
| Contents of lectures | Lectures: Basic concepts, definitions and nomenclature of functional polymers. Classification of functional polymers. The mechanism and kinetics of polymerization. Also non-standard ways of initiating and carrying out polymerization are presented. Techniques of stepgrowth and chain polymerization. Selected topics considering application of functional polymers include: conductive polymers, electro-optic polymers, water-soluble polymers, biopolymers, biodegradable polymers, temperature-sensitive and pH-sensitive hydrogels, liquid-crystalline polymers. | |||
| Contents of exercises | Experimental exercise: It is envisaged that the student should do five experimental exercises, and choose between: Polymerization of styrene in emulsion. Polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the suspension. Synthesis of biodegradable polyesters by ring-opening of heterocyclic monomers. Preparation of polymeric microspheres for controlled drug release process by emulsion solvent evaporation method. Synthesis of heat-sensitive hydrogel microparticles by inverse emulsion polymerization. Synthesis of functionalized hyperbranched polymers. . | |||
