CHEM 603. Industrial and Polymer Chemistry Bridges the industrial-academic gap. Includes petroleum refining processes and distillation technology. Inorganic topics include glass technology, electro-refining and electroplating, and battery chemistry. Discusses cellulose(biomass)-based products such as gelling polysaccharides and natural fibers along with industrial adsorbents (clays, zeolites, ion exchange resins, carbon blacks), and emulsion technology. Topics in polymer chemistry include ways of making polymers, resins, elastomers, and synthetic fibers; methods of polymer analysis, structure-property correlations (how structure influences physical properties) plastics recycling, and methods of plastics and composites processing. Pre- or corequisite: CHEM 532.

CHEM 605. Medicinal Chemistry For students interested in chemistry related to the design, development, and mode of action of drugs. Describes those organic substances used as medicinal agents and explains the mode of action and chemical reactions of drugs in the body; illustrates the importance and relevance of chemical reactions as a basis of pharmacological activity, drug toxicity, allergic reactions, carcinogenicity, etc; and brings about a better understanding of drugs. Includes transport, basic receptor theory, metabolic transformation of drugs, discussion of physical and chemical properties in relation to biological activity, drug design, structure-activity relationships, and discussion of a select number of organic medicinal agents. Prerequisite: CHEM 532 or equivalent; a semester of biochemistry (CHEM 661 or 662) and a year of biology are strongly recommended.
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced Inorganic Chemistry Includes modern bonding theories, structure and spectra of inorganic compounds, coordination and organometallic chemistry, boranes, inorganic ring systems and polymers, inorganic environmental chemistry, mechanisms of inorganic reactions, and solid state chemistry. Prerequisites: CHEM 514 and 546.
