Abstract

To impart basic knowledge and experimental competence using selected examples from chemistry and physics.

Objective

To impart basic knowledge and experimental competence using selected examples from chemistry and physics.

Content

Chemistry III: Synthesis of PMMA via Transesterification; PET recycling or manufacture of poly(methylmethacrylat) via radical polymerization of methylmethacrylat; 3D-printing. Physics I: Powder diffractometry, single crystal radiography, capillary rheometry, viscoelasticity of the polymer melt (or an equivalent exp.), 2 phyiscs experiments (out of 4) at the EMPA: e.g. X-ray flourescence analysis, impedance measurements of batteries, "power to gas" or texture measurement, building a Lithium ionic battery; and two further physic experiments at D-Phys (e.g. about "elastic constants" or "inference and diffraction" ).
