Description

Lab work. This course is an application of the classes followed in material elaboration and more specifically in polymer chemistry. The synthesis and characterization of different polymers will be performed and linked to the theoretical knowledge.

This practical class is divided in 4 experiments of 8 hrs and and Final individual practical exam. The experiments are:

  • Reactivity ratio in radical copolymerization
  • Controlled radical polymerization
  • Emulsion Polymerization
  • Thermosenstive polymers
