Course objectives
The subject introduces the basic principles of macromolecular chemistry. Main attention will be paid following topics: structure and nomenclature of polymers; molecular weight and distribution of macromolecules; relations of polymers structure and their properties; thermodynamic conditions for originating macromolecules; types of polymerization reactions, kinetics and methods for polymer preparation.
Syllabus
  • 1. Introduction, definitions, history, nomenclature, direction at development of polymers, constitution, configuration and conformation of polymers. 2. Characteristic properties of macromolecules, number average and weight average molecular weight, degree of polymerization, methods for the determination of molecular weight of polymers. 3. Thermal properties of polymers, glass transition temperature, physical phases and states, viscoelasticity, morphology of polymers, amorphous and crystalline states and their determination. 4. Synthesis of macromolecules, requirements for macromolecule formation, functionality of monomers, basic principles of step-growth and chain growth polymerizations – differences, examples. 5. Polycondensation, mechanism, destruction processes, molecular weight distribution, kinetics of polycondensation, equilibrium, polycondensation techniques, polycondensation multifunctional monomers. 6. Polymers prepared by polycondensation: polyesters, polyamides, phenol-, urea-, and melamine-formaldehyde resins, polysiloxanes. Polyaddition, mechanism, characteristics, polymers prepared by polyaddition: polyurethanes, epoxy resins. 7. Free radical polymerization, mechanism, initiation, propagation, termination, chain transfer reaction, inhibitors and retarders, kinetics of free radical polymerization, gel effect, copolymerization 8. Techniques of free radical polymerization: bulk, suspension, emulsion, solution. 9. Cationic and anionic polymerization, initiators, propagation, termination and transfer, living polymers, ion copolymerization, Ziegler – Natta polymerization. 10. Polymers prepared by chain-growth polymerization: polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, poly(vinyl chloride), polytetrafluoroethylene, poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(methyl methacrylate), etc. (production, properties, applications). 11. Copolymers: butadiene-styrene copolymer rubber, butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer rubber, styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer, ABS (production, properties, applications). 12. Natural polymers: polysacharides: cellulose, starch, hemicellulose; lignin, rubber, proteins; polymers in medicine. 13. Polymer gels, creation of polymer network, sol / gel process, characterization of gels, biocompatible hydrogels based on acrylic and methacrylic monomers (HEMA, GMMA, AAm, MA, and others). 14. Determination of hydrogels properties by their swelling and optical characteristics; mechanic properties of hydrogels and their determinations, synthesis of monomers, silicon-hydrogels.
