lives. The chemistry and uses of polymers and other large molecules have undergone a revolution in the last twenty years. New synthetic techniques can deliver unparalleled control in the size, shape, and properties of macromolecules. Novel applications are being developed every day including displays, drug delivery, sensors, and electronics. We will be looking at functional organic materials on all length-scales and dimenstions, e.g. as molecular porous solids (0D), layered functional sheets (2D), or as amorphous polymer assemblies (3D). The course will introduce the fundamental aspects of organic functional materials, how they are synthesised and characterised and will illustrate their usefulness by considering a range of applications. Topics What is an organic material?: classifications & structure Synthesis of macromolecules: chain vs step polymerization Reaction mechanisms and kinetics Molecular weight and topology Characterisation techniques and analysis Material properties in solution & bulk Functional materials & applications |
