The goal		The aim of this course is to provide a polymer synthesis methods including various types of polymerizations and their application toward common and promising polymer products with all parameters that are necessary for successful manufacturing and monitoring of processes, as well as final products.
The outcome		After the students fulfilled all the requirements and passed the exam, they are capable to select a proper raw material to get desired polymer properties, capable to formulate and choose proper manufacturing process, to monitor it and final products. Based on the previously acquired knowledge, as well as those acquired in this course, the students are capable to solve basic problems in practice.
