Applications of polymers

The Sub Committee on Polymer Education (SCPE) has organized a social series of workshops about Education in Polymer Chemistry on several occasions.

This series of interactive IUPAC Education Workshops in Polymer Sciences (2016, 2017, 2018 and 2020+) on polymer sciences are intended primarily for students or active researchers from emerging countries. The presentation slides from the instructors are accessible from IUPAC project webpages through the QR-codes given below:

The Subcommittee on Polymer Education under IUPAC Polymer Division and IUPAC Committee on Chemistry Education (CCE) wanted to publish the lecture notes of the series workshop as well as the educational materials in polymer sciences in a special issue of Chemistry Teacher International.

One of the goals of Chemistry Teacher International is to bridge the gap between research and education. Good practices and the basics for some topics in polymer sciences for educational purpose should be helpful educational materials for the teachers or lecturers. In this recently released special issue, three articles on polymer synthesis, five articles on polymer characterization, two articles on polymer processing and three articles on polymer applications are published.

Both SCPE and CCE acknowledge the work done by the instructors and the contributors of the articles for the benefits of the young researchers and teachers.

This special issue is available through the website of the Open Access Journal Chemistry Teacher International: https://www.degruyter.com/journal/key/CTI/html

Chin Han Chan is from the University Teknologi MARA, Malaysia, and is a Titular Member of the IUPAC Polymer Division. Jan Apotheker is from the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, and serves as Chair of IUPAC CCE and editor-in-chief of Chemistry Teacher International.
