| The goal | Understanding the relationship of structure-properties characteristic for polymer materials according to the basic principles of materials science. Understanding the specificity that polymer structure imposes on the production, selection, optimization and design of polymer materials. Understanding the significance of polymers and their possible applications and the need for team work in solving engineering problems related to polymers. | |||
| The outcome | Mastering of basic principles and techniques for workng with polymers and correlating this specific knowledge to knowledge from other fields in solving modern engineering problems. Capability to predict the behaviour of polymer materials in engineering and mass products, as well as their impact on the environment. | |||
