The aims of this module are to: |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) Students should be able to; name common monomers and polymers, describe different synthetic routes to produce polymers and discuss basic characterisation of synthetic polymers. |
|
(LO2) Students will be able to understand how to characterise organic crystalline and porous materials. |
|
(LO3) Students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of how functional organic materials are synthesised, and show an understanding of the relationship between the structure and properties of a material. |
|
(LO4) Students will be able to outline how to design materials for specific applications. |
|
(S1) Problem solving/ critical thinking/ creativity analysing facts and situations and applying creative thinking to develop appropriate solutions. |
|
(S2) Numeracy (application of) manipulation of numbers, general mathematical awareness and its application in practical contexts (e.g. measuring, weighing, estimating and applying formulae) |
|
(S3) Learning skills online studying and learning effectively in technology-rich environments, formal and informal |
|
(S4) Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the essentials facts, concepts, principles and theories relating to functional organic materials |
|
(S5) The ability to recognise and analyse problems and plan strategies for their solution |
