CHM 352 - Polymer Chemistry, 3 credit hours

Prerequisite(s): Grade of C- or better in CHM 251 and CHM 252.
An introduction to polymer chemistry covering step, ionic and chain polymerization mechanisms and kinetics. Properties of polymers, such as molecular weight determination, glass transition temperature (T_g), melt temperature (T_m) and crystalline and amorphous polymers will be discussed.
