Polymer Chemistry
M.S., M.P.S. and Ph.D.
Introduction
Graduate students in polymer chemistry select their courses from a range of offerings in chemistry, chemical engineering, mathematics, physics, and other appropriate areas. These courses will include either the one-year sequence in physical or organic chemistry of polymers and such additional courses as the student and advisor consider necessary. Special topics in a spectrum of polymer fields are offered or can be arranged in consultation with the faculty.
Research is an essential component of any graduate degree program in polymer chemistry.
Current areas of polymer research include the following:
- Biomass conversion to industrial polysaccharides (Stipanovic, Winter)
- Dendrimers and hyperbranched molecules (Gitsov)
- Diffraction methods, NMR, and dynamic molecular modeling approaches to polymer structure determination and prediction (Winter)
- Inorganic polymers (Cabasso)
- Novel methods of cellulose and cellulosic modification (Caluwe, Stipanovic, Winter)
- Percolation methods in theoretical polymer chemistry (Chatterjee )
- Polymer based nanocomposites (Stipanovic, Winter)
- Preparation, modification, and technology of polymeric membranes (Cabasso)
- Preparation and characterization of functional polymers (Gitsov)
- Preparation, properties, and applications of radiopaque polymers (Cabasso)
- Stimuli responsive materials (Stipanovic, Winter)
- Thermodynamics and statistical mechanics of polymer systems (Chatterjee)
- Engineering biocatalysts for biopolymer production (Nomura)
Polymer Chemistry courses:
- FCH 550 Polymer Science: Synthesis and Mechanisms
- FCH 551 Polymer Techniques
- FCH 552 Polymer Science: Properties and Technology
- FCH 650 Statistical Physics and Chemistry of Macromolecules
- Other courses taught include Membrane Science and Technology and Biomass Chemistry
Prospective graduate students are strongly encouraged to contact any professor whose research is of interest!

Financial Support
Selected applicants to the graduate program will be offered a full tuition waiver and a 12 month stipend that will cover their living expenses, and the costs of books and fees. Students are supported primarily as research assistants rather than teaching assistants, and as a result they have more time to devote to their research.
