Polymer chemistry is the primary course for undergraduate students majoring in polymer science. Combing scientific research achievements as extended reading materials is beneficial for undergraduate students to consolidate their knowledge
stimulate their scientific exploration spirit
cultivate their innovation ability
and provide new references for exploring the optimistic interaction between teaching and scientific research. This article integrates the scientific research achievement “1
1-diphenyl-2-trinitrophenylhydrazine (DPPH) applied to verify the free radical polymerization mechanism of aromatic nitrile resin” into the teaching of the free radical inhibition/retardation chapter. As an extended reading material after class
it effectively combines the “pre class-post class” teaching mode to help students strengthen basic knowledge and inspire students to use basic knowledge to solve scientific research issues.
