Advanced Functional Polymers: Molecular Design and Applications
Conjugated polymers, block copolymers, bipolymers, liquid crystalline polymers, dendrimers, high performance polymers, and their biomedical and optoelectric applications will be discussed. Students will learn design principle to achieve specific functions from polymers, synthetic methodology, physical chemistry of functional polymers, structure-property relationship and fabrication of devices from functional polymers.
