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 Winter Term 2024/25

 

Dear students:

This is one of several online presences for the hybrid lecture "Physical Chemistry of Polymers 2" at JGU Mainz. Another online presence can be found on our e-learning platform Moodle; it will automatically show up there under your content if you are registered for this class.

What does "hybrid lecture" mean? It means that the lecture takes place in equal parts in digital and in real space. In the digital part, you can acquire the basic knowledge all by yourself. For this purpose, short scripts, each covering one of a total of nine lesson units of this lecture (that would normally be featured in a classical 90-min lecture-hall format each), are available to you as working materials in the "Scripts" section of this website and (alternatively), on our university`s e-learning platform Moodle. In addition, nine accompanying digital lectures, in the format of both a video and an audio-podcast each, are available to you for streaming on this website and on Moodle. You can view/listen them at home, supported by the scripts, and thus consume the lecture contents conveniently from your private 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. You can lend it from our MIN Bereichsbibliothek (that's the library underneath the chemistry lab-classrooms); they have a decent number of both paper copies and e-Book licenses.

With these materials, you will be able to work through the lecture material completely by yourself; and you should also be able to pass the exam. If you like, however, you are also cordially invited to attend a classroom session, which takes place as announced via JOGUStINe. In this classroom session, we will work together in a lively and interactive format to deepen and anchor the understanding of the lecture material. We will meet once a week and work through one by one of the lecture topic-units, respectively. Participation in this presence format is voluntary, and the exam can be well passed without. It is to be expected, though, that true understanding of the lecture content can profit a lot from participation in this presence part of the class.

Accompanying to the lecture, there is a seminar. We will discuss how, when, and where will will have it in our first lesson unit.

Your teacher,
Prof. Dr. Sebastian Seiffert
