Functional Polymeric Materials

Polymers, typically plastics and fibers, are leading materials providing useful and inexpensive items for modern living. This course deals with basic and recent progress on functional polymers, bioplastics, polymer solar cells, polymeric biomaterials, and hydrogels, which are useful to understand their industrial applications.

• Bioplastics-basic and future aspects
• Understand a fundamental and perspective of polymer solar cells
• Basic science and application of biomaterials
• Fundamentals and application of functional hydrogels

• Learners should have learned the college-level of chemistry.
