studied (anionic, cationic, standard radical, controlled radical and coordinative polymerization methods). The scope and limitations
of each method will be systematically discussed. Mechanistic and kinetic features will be then studied for each polymerization
method. Special emphasis will be finally put on the control of macromolecular architectures.
The course is in flipped classroom, project-based format.
All these topics will not be necessarily covered each year.
