Course Objective

A traditional idea is that organic polymer is regarded as an excellent insulator because of its saturated macromolecule. However, a breakthrough of organic polymer imitating a metal was coming-out in the 1960s-1970s. It implied electrons in polymers need to be free to move and not bound to the atoms. Since discovery of carbon nanotube in 1991, nanoscience and nanotechnology have become some of the fastest growing and most dynamic areas of research in the 20. centrury. Although a lot of good books and excellent reviews on conducting polymers and corresponding nanostructures have been widely published in the world, I was eager to share my knowledge and experience on studying conducting polymers and their nanostructures with other scientists, teachers and students who are interested in conducting polymers. In application section, the home work will be given to develop the students analytical abilities and ability to present and criticise arguments.
