Description

We will explore exciting macromolecular chemistry in a range of selected cutting edge research fields. The course is given by experts in their respective fields and has segments on reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), Ziegler-Natta Polymerization as well as the application of well-defined polymers for drug delivery and biomedical applications. The course is designed as an interactive discourse between students and lecturer. The students are actively engaged in judging current scientific research papers as well as developing new research strategies.

A significant component of the course is the completion of a major piece of self-directed learning in an advanced polymer topic.

If you are undertaking honours, Masters or PhD research in the field of polymer science, this course is highly recommended.
