Polymer Science Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement

根据美国化学学会专业培训委员会关于综合实验室经验的建议，我们希望统一使用粘度计、光散射和层析技术测定分子尺寸，以便学生能够更好地了解这些非常重要的性质。我们将购买一台激光光散射仪，作为集成的大分子表征仪器的一部分，该仪器将能够直接测量聚合物样品的分子尺寸。通过购买这种仪器，我们教授与聚合物合成和表征有关的修订后的聚合物科学实验室课程的能力将大大增强。

In line with the recommendation for integrated laboratory experience of the ACS Committee of Professional Training we wish to unify the determination of molecular dimensions using viscometry, light scattering and chromatographic techniques so the students can have a better understanding of these very important properties. We will purchase a Laser Light Scattering Instrument as part of an integrated macromolecular characterization instrumentation that will enable the direct measurement of molecular dimensions of a polymer sample. By this instrument acquisition our abilities to teach a revised Polymer Science Laboratory Course, concerned with polymer synthesis and characterization will be substantially enhanced.
