Learning outcomes
The course aims at introducing the student to the chemistry of macromolecules, and to treat
advanced aspects, both synthetic and applicative, of functional macromolecules as nanostructured materials for applications in the energy, biomedical and environmental fields.
Course contents
The course will initially focus on the classification and presentation of the different classes of macromolecules, and on the differences
amongst the main polymerization methods (polycondensation, polyaddition). The main methods of analysis and characterization of polymers will be illustrated. The main techniques for controlled polymerization will be introduced, in particular with respect to radical polymerization. Some modern techniques for the preparation of bioconjugates for applications in the biomedical field will be illustrated. In addition, advanced approaches for the preparation of conjugated polymers for energy applications will be analyzed.
The programme therefore deals with topics related to two of the 2030 agenda on sustainability:
GOAL 7: AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY
GOAL 12: RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION
