The teaching status of chemical experiments for polymer major is described in this paper. Taking the synthesis of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) as an example

the application of the response surface methodology in comprehensive chemistry experiments for polymer major is introduced. The main variables which effect on the results of experiment

the value range of variables and establishment and evaluation of models for fitting are discussed and the optimum condition is selected. Thus preliminary ability in scientific research for the students is trained. Also the ability of statistical analysis in dealing with the experimental data is enhanced and innovative thinking and teamwork spirit are cultivated.
