We study, in this lecture, the organic chemical reactions used for synthesis of high performance and functional polymers. For example, metal-catalyzed coupling reaction are used for the synthesis of aromatic polymers, such as poly(ethylene terephthalates), thermally-stable polyimide, high performance aerospace materials, electrically conductive poly(p-phenylenvinylene). Polycondensation (or step-growth polymerization) are widely used for synthesis of high performance engineering polymers, which are indispensable materials to our daily life. Controlled polymerization mechanism including living anionic, cationic and radical polymerization are also discussed in the lecture to understand the relationship between polymer performance and molecular structure, such as molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, stereoregularity. We will learn the strategies of molecular design for high-performance polymers.

The essential studies for organic chemistry and polymer synthesis have been mastered during undergraduate course.
