327-0312-00LMaterials Synthesis I - Polymers4 KP4GA. Anastasaki, D. Opris
KurzbeschreibungThe course teaches the basics and terminology of polymer synthesis. To synthesize various polymeric materials, different polymerization techniques are required. This course will introduce representative polymerization methodologies and will discuss how they operate in order to yield materials with enhanced polymeric characteristics. 
Lernziel1) The students will be able to recognize different polymer types and associate them with their chemical structure and properties (i.e. rubber elasticity, glass transition temperature, etc.)
2) The students will become familiar with various synthetic methods to produce polymers of different architectures and topologies
3) The students will be exposed to different characterization methods (e.g. size exclusion chromatography, mass-spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance) that are necessary to confirm the successful synthesis and structure of a polymer
4) The students will understand the mechanism of selected polymerization methodologies
5) The students will be introduced to state-of-the-art polymer synthesis and recent literature examples will be critically discussed

327-0313-00LMaterials Characterization I3 KP3GA. Lauria, A. Anastasaki
KurzbeschreibungIntroduction into the main spectroscopic methods and their applications to gain compositional and structural information.
LernzielThe aim of the course is to enable the students to select and apply the optimal analytical/spectroscopic methods for the identification of organic, inorganic and polymeric materials.
InhaltParticular emphasis is given to qualitative and quantitative analysis of material composition at the atomic/molecular level by mass spectrometry, atomic absorption, vibrational and UV-vis spectroscopy, thermal analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance. The course will include lectures as well as hands-on practical sessions.
