This program aims to gear to a fundamental understanding of polymer systems ranging from fully biological to synthetic macromolecules. The extensive experimental studies, coupled with theoretical work on the polymer conformation of such complex bio molecules as proteins, shed light on the actions and properties of macromolecules and broaden understanding of new synthetic systems. In studies of polymer synthesis they have designed a broad spectrum of new polymeric materials, both organic and inorganic, with unique architectures significant for emerging technologies. New experimental techniques and sophisticated instrumentation teach about phenomena occurring at polymer surfaces and interfaces and how polymers diffuse or fracture. These advances in the understanding of polymer systems, their bonding, and their dynamics signal a fascinating future for polymer studies at Cornell.
- 国际学生入学要求：
Students seeking admission must have completed a bachelors’ degree. International students must take the GRE exam. Students should have a score of at least 400 is required on the verbal section for those applicants whose native language is not English. Students whose native language is not English must take the TOEFL and have the official score reported to Cornell from the Educational Testing Service (ETS). Educational Testing Service provided a new Internet-based Test (iBT) version of the TOEFL. This new version will test all four language skills important for effective communication: writing, listening, reading, and speaking. Each section has its own score, and the Graduate School has set the following minimum scores for admissions: Writing: 20; Listening: 15; Reading: 20; Speaking: 22. Students will continue to accept scores for computer based (cBT) (213 minimum) and paper based (550 minimum) versions of the TOEFL that were taken within two years of the date.
