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 general aspects of polymer materials, the 'Big 5' technical polymers, spider silk nanostructure, synthetic polymers, major application segments of plastics, and the activities of the Polymer Science department at EPFL.
Explores the transformation of raw materials into commercial products in the chemical industry, focusing on the production of industrial organic chemicals and polymers.
Explores polymer classification based on composition, architecture, and structure, emphasizing the importance of considering both aspects for accurate classification.
