Special CTI on Polymer Sciences
A special issue of Chemistry Teacher International has been released, resulting of a collaboration project between the Sub-committee on Polymer Education part of the IUPAC Polymer Division, and the IUPAC Committee on Chemistry Education.
CTI, Volume 3, Issue 2
June 30, 2021; https://www.degruyter.com/journal/key/CTI/3/2/html
This special issue, co-edited by Chin Han Chan and Jan Apotheker, contains articles which are intended to bridge the gap between research and education. The idea is to share the good practices for some topics in polymer sciences for educational purposes. We hope that lecturers at the universities may refer to these articles as the references to teach or lecture young researchers. Another purpose is to inform the high-school/pre-university teachers about recent developments in polymer chemistry, so that they may introduce some of the topics in this issue to students.
The articles are based on the lecture notes presented at IUPAC Education Workshops in Polymer Sciences (2016, 2017, 2018, and 2020+) and educational materials in polymer sciences covering topics of polymer synthesis (three articles), polymer characterization (five articles), polymer processing (two articles) and polymer applications and others (three articles). The educational materials shared in this special issue have been previously used by researchers with the aim of promoting polymer sciences.
