Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The lecture consists of two parts:
The first part is an introduction into macromolecular chemistry concentrating on physical chemistry aspects: Short survey of the history of polymer science; properties of solid polymers; polymer solutions and melts; modeling of polymers by statistical mechanics; polymer characterization (molar mass and mass distribution); influence of the polymerization process on chain-lengths distributions; polymerization kinetics.
The second part concentrates on the structure of solids and liquids and related phenomena: symmetry in solids, introduction into the crystallographic description of solid matter, structure of matter, production of X-ray radiation, theory of diffraction, experimental techniques for determination of structure via X-ray and neutron diffraction, structural-chemical description of solids, radiation safety, specific heat of solids. Introduction to unary and binary phase diagrams: phenomenological and thermodynamic description.
