Class Objectives
/Class Outline
Polymer materials are widely used in our daily life.  In this lecture, synthetic procedures of polymers are explained according to the following categories: polycondenzation, polyaddition, radical polymerization, anionic polymerization, cationic polymerization, coordination polymerization, etc. 
Class Schedule lesson 1 Characteristics of polymers
lesson 2 Classification of polymers and origin of polymerization degree and polydispersity
lesson 3 Polycondenzation(1): principle
lesson 4 Polycondenzation(2): typical polymers synthesized by polycondenzation
lesson 5 Polyaddition: principle and typical polymers synthesized by polyaddition
lesson6 Radical polymerization(1): principle
lesson 7 Radical polymerization(2): principle of copolymerization, monomer reactivity ratio, and Q-e theory
lesson 8 Ionic polymerization(1): anionic polymerization
lesson 9 Ionic polymerization(1): cationic polymerization
