Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules
15.0 ECTS creditsPhysical Chemistry of Macromolecules
What happens when a molecule becomes large, so large that its size and not only the chemical structure determine its properties? Molecules that are so large are called macromolecules, which polymers and proteins are known examples of. In the course Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules, fundamental theories and properties of macromolecules are presented, as well as selected examples of such molecules importance in materials science. The course is built around a theoretical part that gives the general understanding, combined with some small theoretical and practical projects, which provide examples of and the ability to apply the gained knowledge.
