Polymer
Science Graduate Curriculum at UC
(Former
Undergraduate Materials Curriculum)
Polymer Physical Properties gives students a basic level of knowledge of the terminology and mathematics involved in the physical understanding of polymers. Most of the topics deal with post-1970 concepts involving the static's of polymeric materials. The course is intended for graduate students who need to gain a cursory understanding of modern approaches to polymer physics. The course will use Strobl's text The Physics of Polymer (2007) chapters 1 to 4, 8, 9 and the appendix. Introductory courses in polymers and thermodynamics are necessary for the course. The course requires a basic understanding of calculus and statistical mathematics such as should be covered in a "traditional" undergraduate science or engineering degree.
This course is designed as a required graduate course but
undergraduates and graduate students outside of Chemical and Materials
Engineering often take this class. For undergraduates a letter grade boost
is given (and A is an 80 or higher for undergraduates) and for non-majors
who take this course as an elective some informal grading concessions are
usually made on a case-by-case basis.
