CHEM 442L Polymer Chemistry Laboratory
This lab is designed to teach the techniques of polymer chemistry, both the synthesis of the different types of polymers as well as polymer characterization, including physical measurement of polymer properties. Among the syntheses are free radical polymers, including controlled free radical polymerization and block copolymers, step polymers, nanoparticles, and anionic polymerization. Characterization techniques include GPC (SEC), IR, NMR, DSC, viscometry, DMS, and mechanical testing.
