Resumen de Modules for Introducing Macromolecular Chemistry in Foundation Courses

Chris P. Schaller, Kate J. Graham, Henry V. Jakubowski, Brian J. Johnson

• A series of guided inquiry modules that introduces students to aspects of polymer chemistry is described. The modules address topics such as biomacromolecules, molecular weight, structure–property relationships, and synthetic approaches, including step-growth and chain-growth polymerization as well as living polymerization. These materials are suitable for use in either a structure and reactivity sequence or a more traditional sequence in general chemistry, organic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry.
