Molecular Aspects of Chemical Engineering
MIT OpenCourseWare offers this advanced chemical engineering course on molecular-level analysis of chemical processes. The material covers chemical bonding, reactivity, and structure-property relationships used to design and tailor organic and polymeric systems. Lectures address the chemical forces and structural factors governing supramolecular and interfacial phenomena in molecular and polymeric materials. Course materials include lecture notes, assignments, and readings drawn from MIT's chemical engineering curriculum, released under a Creative Commons license for free use. There is no instructor interaction or certificate, consistent with MIT OCW's model of publishing course content for self-study. The course suits students with a background in chemistry or chemical engineering who want to understand how molecular structure and bonding principles translate into the design of engineered chemical systems, from polymers to interfaces.
