Polymers are a critical component of most products used by society today. Knowledge of their formation and properties is key to development of the materials of the future. The formation and properties of the major polymers are the primary focus areas of this course, including Step- growth and Chain-growth polymerization, formation techniques for preparation of synthetic fibers and the fundamental relationships between chemical structure and physical properties of natural and synthetic polymers. PCC 464 Typically offered in Fall only Graduate Catalog 1437
PCC 464Chemistry of Polymeric Materials Laboratory (1
hours) Polymers are a critical component of most products used by society today. Understanding their formation and properties is key to development of the materials of tomorrow. This laboratory course is focused on preparation of the major synthetic polymers using step- growth and chain-growth polymerization techniques. The properties of the resultant polymers are studied. PCC 461 Typically offered in Fall only

PCC 466Polymer Chemistry Laboratory ()3
Synthesis and characterization of polymers; thermodynamics of rubber elasticity and gelation; spectroscopic, thermal and scattering techniques for polymer analysis. The processing of polymers into fibers and films. Typically offered in Spring only PCC 471/MT 471 Chemistry of Biopolymers (3 credit hours) Introduction to natural and synthetic biopolymers used for biomedical applications. Goals and challenges of biomaterials selection for biomedical engineering are discussed. Polymer concepts of polymerization and characterization, sources/synthesis, chemical and physical properties, and degradation mechanisms are described. Polymer classes include: proteins, polysaccharides, polyesters, polyanhydrides, polyurethanes and silicones. Typically offered in Spring only
Forensic chemistry is the application of chemistry to the law. It is a key part of crime scene investigations. In this course, students work in teams and discover standard methods of crime scene processing, latent evidence processing and analysis of materials and chemicals germane to forensic trace evidence. Advanced analytical chemistry techniques will be learned and applied to solve a 'crime' with suspects. Students will attempt to solve the crime and will present their analytical evidence in a courtroom setting with cross-examination. Typically offered in Fall only This course is offered alternate even years
