Outline and Purpose of the Course	Based on the courses "Fundamental Polymer Science I and II" (covering polycondensation and radical polymerization), this course is to discuss the concepts and the characteristics of coordination, stereospecific, ionic (anionic and cationic), ring-opening, and living polymerizations. Examples are provided for initiators, monomers, reaction mechanism, polymerization intermediates, and produced polymers.
Course Goals	To discuss fundamental aspects of polymer chemistry, particularly the fundamental nature of polymers and their synthesis (polymerization reactions).
Schedule and Contents	Coordination Polymerization,2times,To discuss: The fundamentals of coordination and Ziegler-Natta polymerizations, including ring-opening metathesis polymerization, and the relation between catalyst design and polymerization mechanism. Stereospecific Polymerization,2times,To discuss: The fundamentals of stereospecific polymerization, polymer characterization therein, and the relation between polymer steric structure and polymerization mechanism. Study Achievement Test (1),1time,To examine as "feed-back": The achievement of studying in the subjects that have already been discussed (coordination and stereospecific polymerizations). Anionic Polymerization,3times,To discuss: The fundamental of anionic polymerization, including initiators, monomers, their structure–reactivity relationships, elementary reactions, kinetics. and reaction mechanisms. Cationic Polymerization,3times,To discuss: The fundamental of cationic polymerization, including initiators, monomers, their structure–reactivity relationships, elementary reactions, kinetics. and reaction mechanisms. Ring-Opening Polymerization,1time,To discuss: The fundamental of ring-opening polymerization, including initiators, monomers, their structure–reactivity relationships, elementary reactions, kinetics. and reaction mechanisms. Living Polymerization,2times,To discuss: The definition and examples of "living" polymerization, including initiators, catalysts, monomers, their structure-reactivity relationships, elementary reactions, kinetics, and reaction mechanisms Study Achievement Test (2),1time,To examine as "feed-back": The achievement of studying in the subjects that have already been discussed (ionic and living polymerizations).
