About the course
The course covers different chemical principles that can be used to design, synthesise and develop macromolecules and soft materials for real-life applications. This course provides a foundation for basic and advanced aspects of polymer synthesis, characterisation, understanding of reaction mechanisms, and a qualitative molecular understanding of the resulting supra/macromolecular structures formed by these polymers.
From the course you will obtain a molecular understanding of the macroscopic properties of soft materials and their design principles, constituting a firm base for the design and synthesis of soft materials for applications such as regenerative medicine or energy storage materials, using synthetic and natural polymers.
