KF2400 Material Synthesis 7.5 credits

The course covers principals of material synthesis with the fockus on the synthesis of polymeric materials including the mechanisms and kinetics of different polymerization reactions and chemical characterization of the synthesized materials.

The laboratory work will give practical experience in synthesis of materials and evaluation and characterization of the synthesized materials with respect to their chemical structure.  

After the course the student should be able to describe, evaluate and analyse material synthesis

• Explain synthesis of different materials
• Draw relevant structures and mechanisms för synthesis
• Analyse and propose relevant synthesis methods
• Evaluate and characterize the synthesized materials

KF2330 Concepts of materials and KF2340 Chemical Sciences

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• LAB1 - Laboratory Work, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 4.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• ÖVN1 - Tutorials, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Active participation in all compulsory activities as specified in Course information.
