The topic treats synthetic methods in macromolecular chemistry and technology. It involves reactions leading to formation of macromolecules in Nature, too. The relations between synthesis, structure and properties of macromolecular systems and their functions are emphasized. The student will learn about reaction mechanisms and kinetics of polyreactions, about the diverse methods of preparation (melt, solution, emulsion, suspension?), about ways how to functionalize macromolecules with specific chemical groups to tailor their properties and functions.

Last update: DUSKOVA/MFF.CUNI.CZ (09.04.2008)

The students should previously complete the subjects: Physical chemistry of polymers and Polymer physics.

In general, the students should be acquainted with the basic terms of organic chemistry and should understand principles of general chemistry.
