Abstract

Abstract The IUPAC Subcommittee on Polymer Education has been pursuing the development of a compact syllabus covering the essential topics required for a tertiary education in polymer science, with numerical and short answer exercises addressing each topic. The primary goal of the document is to provide a framework for a complete course made freely available worldwide so that any educator can implement a professionally-curated course in polymer science for their students without needing expensive textbooks or reliable internet access. An important secondary goal is to popularize the use of approved IUPAC terminology in polymer science by using it consistently throughout the document and providing references to IUPAC source documents. Professor Melissa Chin Han Chan was an active and enthusiastic participant in the project who played a significant role in its design and implementation. The late Professor Richard ‘Dick’ Jones also had a keen interest in the project and had a great influence on its direction and structure. This brief note is dedicated to these two illustrious polymer scientists.

基于练习的国际聚合物教学大纲

摘要国际理论化学和应用化学联合会（IUPAC）聚合物教育小组委员会一直在努力制定一个紧凑的教学大纲，涵盖聚合物科学高等教育所需的基本主题，并针对每个主题提供数字和简答练习。该文件的主要目标是为全球免费提供的完整课程提供一个框架，以便任何教育工作者都可以为其学生开设一门专业的聚合物科学课程，而无需昂贵的教科书或可靠的互联网接入。一个重要的次要目标是通过在整个文件中统一使用国际理论化学和应用化学联合会（IUPAC）认可的术语，并提供国际理论化学和应用化学联合会（IUPAC）源文件的参考资料，在聚合物科学中普及使用这些术语。Melissa Chin Han Chan 教授是该项目的积极和热心参与者，在其设计和实施过程中发挥了重要作用。已故的理查德-迪克-琼斯（Richard 'Dick' Jones）教授也对该项目有着浓厚的兴趣，并对其方向和结构产生了重大影响。谨以此文献给这两位杰出的聚合物科学家。

期刊介绍： Pure and Applied Chemistry is the official monthly Journal of IUPAC, with responsibility for publishing works arising from those international scientific events and projects that are sponsored and undertaken by the Union. The policy is to publish highly topical and credible works at the forefront of all aspects of pure and applied chemistry, and the attendant goal is to promote widespread acceptance of the Journal as an authoritative and indispensable holding in academic and institutional libraries.
