Course Objective


Polymers are important both in the academic and commercial applications. This course is expected to help the student to appreciate how kinetic of polymer and bear on each other and how philosophy contributes to academic investigations. In application section, the home work will be given to develop the students analytical abilities and ability to present and criticise arguments.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to play an active role in the production, research and development sections of chemistry- related areas both in public and private sectors.
2   To have the ability to work effectively in chemistry related units.
3   To have the ability to follow latest developments in the field, to improve current information and to propose new ideas and methods for researches.
4   To have the ability to use modern technologies for solving problems in chemistry
5   To have the ability to contribute to the new structures supported by Research & Development in industry- university collaborations.
