Covers chemical equilibrium, kinetics, Le Chatelier's principle, and equilibrium constants, emphasizing the balance between reactions and the effects of temperature, pressure, and concentration changes.
Explores the synthesis and applications of polymer brushes, including controlled polymerization techniques and their use in protein microarrays and cell adhesion.
Explores the mechanisms of polymer synthesis, including radical chain polymerization and the synthesis of high molecular weight poly(lactic acid) for compostable materials and biomaterials.
Covers the mechanism, rate, and considerations in radical chain polymerization, including industrial importance, initiation, propagation, and termination steps.
