| Schedule and Contents |
Polymer Chain Conformation in Dilute Solutions,4times,After a clarification of basic factors which determine the conformations of real polymer chains in dilute solutions, some polymer chain models are introduced to describe the equilibrium conformational behavior of the real chains. Further, behavior of average chain dimensions as a functions of molecular weight is considered based on the chain models. Thermodynamics and Phase Behavior of Polymer Solutions,4times,Various phase transition phenomena in polymer solutions (phase separation, hydration, association, gelation, etc.) are systematically explained from thermodynamic and statistical-mechanical viewpoints. Phase separation of polymer solutions, Aqueous polymer solutions, and Association and gelation of polymers are discussed in the lectures. Exercise,1time,Exercise in polymer solutions. Structure and Mechanical Properties of Polymeric Solids,5times,Polymeric solids such as rubber and plastics, especially thermodynamics of rubber elasticity, polymer crystallization and crystalline/amorphous higher-order structures, are discussed. Moreover, fundamentals of viscoelastic properties of polymers are introduced to provide the understandings of relaxation phenomena such as glass transition. Electronic and Optical Properties of Polymeric Solids,5times,The electronic and optical properties of polymers is reviewed. The application of polymer materials in the opto-electronics and display devices is also presented. Exercise,1time,Exercise in polymeric solids. |
