Polymer science experiment is the core experiment course of polymer material specialty. Under the guidance of the training requirements of engineering education and certification system talents in colleges and universities

combined with the cutting-edge hot spots in the field

it is the direction of teaching reform to guide students to study independently and design experiments scientifically and reasonably. In this paper

the design of "thermosensitive hydrogel preparation and its dynamic swelling property" is taken as an example. A new experimental teaching reform idea is put forward: teachers choose the forefront of research hotspots

and students form a "research group" . Through the transformation of scientific research experiments into experiments to meet the needs of undergraduate teaching

students' experimental design ability

innovation ability and comprehensive quality have been effectively trained.
