Scripts - Physical Chemistry of Polymers 2 (login with your JGU account)
Goal
This lecture aims at establishing a conceptual knowledge on the structure, dynamics, and function of multi-component polymer systems, along with adding a methodological knowledge on their experimental characterization.
Requirements
Successful participation in the basic lecture Physical Chemistry of Polymers 1
09.032.2080 Lecture: Introduction to Macromolecular Chemistry: Physical Chemistry of Polymers 2
Preface to the Summer Term 2020
Dear students,
...and suddenly, everything is different. The pandemic of the SARS-CoV2 pathogen and its potentially severe disease COVID19 does not allow classical lecture courses to be held in the summer semester of 2020. We very much regret that. Thus far, the lecture Physical Chemistry of Polymers 2 has been characterized by a lively, interactive format in a small-group setting of a seminar room. During normal semester operation, this would occur in the form of 12 lessons on 12 topics, one per week. At the bottom of this page, you may find a timetable with dates showing when which of these teaching units would normally be on the schedule. In the summer semester 2020, however, we all have to keep distance from each other. The lecture will therefore be moved from the seminar room to your own apartment. For this purpose, short scripts for each topic section of the lecture will be made available to you as working material in the "Scripts" section of this website. In addition, audio-podcasts are made available to you for streaming on this website. You can listen to them at home, supported by the scripts, and thus consume the lecture contents conveniently from your privat place. As further accompanying material, the textbook "Physical Chemistry of Polymers" (S. Seiffert, DeGruyter 2020) is recommended, which presents the content in even greater depth and detail.
Accompanying to the lecture, in normal times, there would be a seminar. Transferring that into the virtual space is demanding, and so we will postpone it to a later stage, once small-group assemblies in a personal setting will be possible again. You will receive further notice on that in due course.

Prof. Dr. Sebastian Seiffert
