| (*)More specifically, upon completion of the course they will be able to
• carry out fundamental industrially relevant polymerization procedures following reported literature procedures on a multi-gram laboratory scale. (k3, k6)
• assess and evaluate safety-relevant aspects of polymerization procedures. (k2, k4, k5)
• characterize and analyze the afforded polymer products by melting point, spectroscopic means, (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy), thermal analyses (differential scanning calorimetry), and chromatographic techniques (size exclusion chromatography). (k3, k4, k5)
• document their laboratory work in a protocol in a scientific writing style. (k4, k5)

(*)Underlying concepts and details of
• preparation, separation, purification, characterization, and application-related testing of polymers (e.g., polyolefins).
• performing reactions that include challenges in terms of handling an automized polymerization equipment at elevated pressures and temperatures.
