The target of this class is to induce the students to comprehensively understand polymer from the viewpoints of chemistry, physics and materials. First, polymerization methods and processes such as step growth, radial, ionic and coordination are introduced to help the students to know how to prepare macromolecules from monomers. Second, polymer physics including chain and aggregation states, mechanical and electrical performances are presented to give a basic way to know polymer structures. Then, polymer engineering is proposed from blending modification and polymer processing to commercial applications. Finally, novel functional polymer materials like conductive, liquid-crystalline and photosensitive polymers are introduced.
Materials Science and Engineering
材料工程是研究材料成分、结构、工艺、性能与用途有关知识和应用的学科，涉及物质的性质及其在各个科学和工程学领域的整合应用，研究材料的制备或加工工艺、材料的微观结构与材料宏观性能三者之间的相互关系。
