Map Concept Paper

concept paper

Allow a great deal of flexibility in how you shape your chosen topic.

Improve a specific type of system

It is requiered to define cearly the chosen topic.

Modify a specific type of system

It is expected that you will do some preliminary investigation of what has been done and is already in the literature

Create a new one based on your understanding of the problem

Once you have selected or designed a given polymer system, determine:

The relevance (if any) of molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, or both, in your polymer.

Polymer needed is main chain or side chain functional polymer.

It is stable to the conditions to which it might be exposed.

The system you have chosen is a thermoset/gel or thermoplastic, and what means would be used to process it.

The sorts of polymerization techniques available to synthesize the polymer.
