Polymer Chemistry - SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry

Polymer Chemistry from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry is a Campus Master Chemistry degree that prepares you for a Science career. 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) View more details on SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry .
