Objectives

ADVANCED ORGANIC CHEMISTRY: On a target molecule, the student must have developed the ability to plan the synthetic strategies through the disconnection or synthon approach.

ADVANCED MACROMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY:the course goal is teaching some advanced and recent aspects of macromolecular chemistry.
The student is expected to increase his/her knowledge about: stimuli responsive polymer materials, polymer composites and nanocomposites, shape memory materials, polymer hydrogels. Namely, competences on their synthesis, functional and structural characterization, and use will be acquired.

Contents

ADVANCED ORGANIC CHEMISTRY: Routine for designing a synthesis; The disconnection approach; Synthesis of aromatic compounds; Strategy of carbonyl disconnections, 1,2-difunctionalised compounds, 1,3-difunctionalised compounds, 1,5-difunctionalised compounds Diels-Alder reactions, Strategy of ring synthesis.

ADVANCED MACROMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY: material response to external stimuli: temperature, pH, electric field, magnetic field, chemical environment; shape memory; LCST, UCST, hydrogels; controlled release; types of (nano-)fillers and matrices for polymer composites and nanocomposites; effect of the fillers on the structural and functional properties.
