Introduction to polymer science with a broad focus on: Synthesis, characterization and processing of polymeric materials; Structure-property relationships at the molecular level, in the liquid and melt state and in the solid.

• Introduction to macromolecules: definition of terms, special features of polymers, polymerization reactions, polymer architectures, Classifications of polymeric materials

• Polymer synthesis: chain and step growth, living Polymerizations, catalytic polymerizations, copolymerizations

• Characterizations: determination of molecular weights

• Properties of polymers in the liquid state: thermodynamics of polymer solutions, conformations

• Properties of polymers in the solid state: phase transitions, amorphous materials, semi-crystalline materials, elastomers

• Processing of polymers: extrusions, injection molding processes, Additive manufacturing, fiber and film manufacturing

• Special polymers and applications of polymeric materials
