About this course
Polymers are the building blocks of modern materials science, yet understanding how to design and control their synthesis requires a firm grasp of both chemistry and engineering principles. This text-only course guides you through the essential molecular mechanisms and reactor considerations needed to create high-performance macromolecular structures. You will transition from basic chemical definitions to analyzing complex polymerization kinetics and modern green chemistry alternatives.
What you'll learn:
- Understand foundational polymer terminology, classification systems, and molecular weight distributions
- Analyze step-growth and chain-growth polymerization mechanisms and their kinetic profiles
- Explore copolymerization behaviors and how to control monomer sequencing
- Evaluate industrial polymerization techniques including bulk, solution, suspension, and emulsion systems
- Examine modern sustainable practices, bio-based monomers, and recyclable polymer design
You will begin with a clear breakdown of basic monomer structures and bonding principles before progressing to step-by-step kinetic derivations and industrial reactor design concepts. This structured approach ensures you build a reliable mental model of how molecular reactions scale up to industrial production.
This course is designed for beginners, undergraduate engineering students, and curious professionals seeking a solid foundation in polymer chemistry with no prior advanced chemical engineering prerequisites.
