A comprehensive course in polymer chemistry, comprising lecture, discussion, laboratory, and field trips is designed for college faculty who wish to incorporate material on polymers into lower division chemistry courses or to teach upper division courses in polymer chemistry. The pedagogical approach aims to overcome much of the reluctance to consider polymer chemistry as an important aspect of undergraduate training in chemistry. The course includes polymer synthesis, modification, and molecular level characterization and physical properties of macromolecules. Biopolymers, especially lesser known ones such as the polyesters produced by some bacteria, are included. Polymer recycling is discussed. Contemporary topics in research in polymer chemistry such as polymers for microelectronics, biomaterials, and electronically conducting polymers also is included. Visits to the National Plastics Museum in Leominster, MA, Mypro, Inc., in Clinton, MA, and the General Electric Research and Development center in Schenectady, NY, are also planned.

聚合物化学，包括讲座，讨论，实验室和实地考察的全面课程是为希望将聚合物材料纳入下层化学课程或在聚合物化学中教授上层分区课程的大学教师的。 这种教学方法旨在克服大部分不愿将聚合物化学视为化学本科培训的重要方面。 该课程包括聚合物合成，修饰和分子水平的表征以及大分子的物理特性。 包括生物聚合物，尤其是鲜为人知的生物聚合物，例如某些细菌产生的聚生物。 讨论了聚合物回收。 还包括当代聚合物化学研究的主题，例如微电子，生物材料和电子导电聚合物的聚合物。 还计划访问马萨诸塞州莱明斯特的国家塑料博物馆，位于马萨诸塞州克林顿市的Mypro，Inc。和纽约州Schenectady的通用电气研发中心。
