Bio- and Sustainable Materials

Graduate

As technology makes increasing inroads into the chemical sciences, the development of new functional sustainable and biomaterials becomes increasingly important. This course focuses on the chemistry, characterization and applications of renewable and degradable polymers as well as on the chemistry of carbohydrates and amino acids, and the properties of their polymers. (3 lecture hours/week.) (May be offered as a cross-career course with CHEM-4641).
