Aims
Building on both Level 4 practical modules and Practical Labs 3, this course will concentrate on the chemistry underpinning materials - compounds, polymers and copolymers - from the angle of synthesis and reaction/functionalisation. Chromatographic and spectroscopic analytical techniques, including some tandem techniques will be used for assaying laboratory products.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Synthesise simple heterocyclic molecules and polymers.
2.
Use metals in organic synthesis.
3.
Utilise physical and analytical techniques to identify modern materials and their properties.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Polymers and copolymers - synthesis, functionalisation and analysis; simple dye synthesis and chromatography; interaction of chromophores with metal ions; ion chromatography; atomic spectroscopy; rheology and viscosity; surfactants.
Module Overview:
Building on both Level 4 practical modules and Practical Labs 3, you will concentrate on the chemistry underpinning materials compounds, polymers and copolymers from the angle of synthesis and reaction/functionalisation. You will use chromatographic and spectroscopic analytical techniques, including some tandem techniques, to analyse laboratory products.

Additional Information:The course provides exposure to more involved synthetic chemistry, in terms of polymer and copolymer synthesis, heterocyclic/heteroaromatic synthesis and introduces the concept of chemical structure and resultant material property with the requisite analytical assaying techniques.
