A project lasting one semester, with special requirements regarding choice of materials, properties, etc., concluding project presentation event.
Experiments to teach experimental competence using selected examples from polymer chemistry, analytics and physics (e.g. for the storage or conversion of energy), partly closely based on courses.
Learning objective
Learn how to organize, manage, and execute a semester-long project. To impart basic knowledge and experimental competence using selected examples from chemistry and physics.
Content
Semester-long project, project assignment is determined at the beginning of each semester. Chemistry III: Synthesis of PMMA via Transesterification; PET recycling or manufacture of poly(methylmethacrylat) via radical polymerization of methylmethacrylat; 3D-printing. Physics I, five experiments out of: reflection spectroscopy, experiments on the field of polyers, e.g. viscoelasticity of the polymer melt (or an equivalent exp.), 2 phyiscs experiments (out of 4) at the EMPA: e.g. X-ray flourescence analysis, impedance measurements of batteries, "power to gas" or texture measurement, building a Lithium ionic battery; and further physic experiments.
Lecture notes
Notes with information for each experiment (aim of the experiment, theory, experimental procedure, data analysis) will be made available via moodle (link in mystudies).
