    ESPB5.0Status
    ConditionChemistry of macromolecules or Properties of polymer materialsОблик условљености
    The goalStudents acquire knowledge on macromolecules, thier uniquiness, their molecular structure, solution behavior and properties in solid state. Students are required to present a talk on some relevant topic.
    The outcomeAfter the students fulfilled all the requirements and passed the exam, they are (i) capable of predicting the effect of polymer structure and morphology on its properties, (ii) they acquire knowledge on polymer uniquiness and their properties in solution and solid state and (iii) they acquire comunicational and social skills neccessary for team work.
