In the course Syntheses and Characterisation of Molecules, you will carry out scientific research in the field of organic and polymer chemistry. The course zooms in on the combination of making and measuring active organic components and biobased polymers.
(This minor is also offered in Dutch. Search: Synthetiseren en karakteriseren van moleculen)
PROGRAM DETAILS
You will work in practical assignments on the synthesis of pheromones and the synthesis of polymers from biomass monomers. The course zooms in on the combination of making and measuring active organic components and biobased polymers.
You develop knowledge and skills in the field of organic and polymer chemistry. After the course you can make a structured design of your research and write a report about it. Furthermore, you will have gained insight into workflows in your working environment, such as chemical management.
Topics
Organic chemistry
Kinetics
Organic chemistry of polymers
Polymer Science
Fluid dynamics
Mathematics
Physics
Spectrum interpretation
Practical assignments
- Synthesis of monomers and polymers from biomass: biobased products
- Synthesis of pheromones.
You strengthen these competence areas during the program:
