The Introduction of Polymer Chemistry into the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

化学系正在为一门聚合物化学实验室课程采购设备。该设备使学生能够通过测定分子量、热性能和机械性能来更全面地表征聚合物。这门课程的一个不同寻常的特点是强调各种添加剂对聚合物的热和机械性能的影响。

The Department of Chemistry is purchasing equipment for a laboratory course in polymer chemistry. The equipment is allowing students to more fully characterize polymers by the determination of molecular weights, thermal properties, and mechanical properties. An unusual feature of the course is the emphasis on the influence of various additives on the thermal and mechanical properties of polymers.
