Course Overview

From plastic bottles to your car’s rubber tyres, polymers are all around us. Even our DNA is made out of these curious substances. Polymers are materials that consist of very large molecules and have unique properties. The Functional Polymeric Materials course by edX explores polymers in fibres and plastics and how they have become essential for us.

Plastic is a functional polymer that is used to manufacture inexpensive products that are an important part of modern living. The edX Functional Polymeric Materials certification explains the progress of bioplastics and other polymers along with their industrial applications. Thus, you will get to learn many basic and future aspects of polymers.

Additionally, the Functional Polymeric Materials online programme is a short-term online course that runs for four weeks. edX has partnered with Osaka University to design this introductory course to get students interested in Chemistry. You can enrol in the course for free through the audit mode, and purchase the certificate separately by paying the certificate fee.
