Ateneo - UPO

Laboratory activities relating to the
synthesis/characterization of polymers and
synthesis of molecules of industrial interest.

Teaching materials provided by the instructor

Acquire the ability to work in a group on
problems of industrial interest and to
critically analyze the results obtained.

Chimica generale I

Class lessons, laboratory experiences in small
groups.

During the course, at the end of each core topic, students will be collectively involved in solving exercises and problems. At the end of the course, two hours will be dedicated to solving problems relating to all course topics. Students with disabilities, Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD), or Special Educational Needs (SEN) can request specific services and tools by contacting the Career Development and Coordination and Student Services Staff and by consulting the dedicated page on the University website: https://uniupo.it/it/servizi/servizi-studentidisabili-e-dsa. Students with disabilities, SLD, or SSEN, after contacting the University Staff, can contact the professor in charge of the course regarding the specific exam methods and teaching aspects.

article in which the results obtained are
critically analyzed.

Synthesis of polymers via ARGET-ATRP under
various synthesis conditions. Characterization
of the molecular weight, thermal stability and
glass transition temperature of the polymers
obtained.
Synthesis of ionic liquids under different
conditions. Evaluation of the sustainability of
the various processes using green chemistry
methods.

Ability to critically analyze experimental
results and communicate them in the form of
a scientific treatise.
