Essentials of Polymer Chemistry (with an emphasis on kinetics and thermodynamics) that includes the kinetic classification of polymerisations, step-growth vs chain-growth polymerisations and their kinetic derivation. Examples related to reaction mechanisms will also be provided. The content includes free-radical polymerisation and ionic polymerisation as well as the influence of molecular weight control in polymerisation reactions. The structural basis of polymer properties will be describe for a variety of polymer compounds. The module will provide an introduction to chemical degradation pathways in polymers illustrated with examples.
