Course objectiveThe student's course of advanced polymerization techniques, homogeneous and heterogeneous polymerization techniques and theoretical details of the students to learn and will prefer to work in the area of professional life, aims to create the infrastructure. 
Learning outcomes
  1. Polymerization with homogeneous and heterogeneous polymerization systems will learn the techniques in detail. Specialize in the polymer after the bachelor's degree or students who want to learn about the subject in more depth on the topic of infrastructure will be provided. Course also gained the ability to pass on the knowledge gained will be implemented in research and application conditions.
