The goal		Electroconducting Polymers course aims to introduce students to basic properties of electroconducting polymers, methods of both chemical and electrochemical synthesis, experimental procedures in the field and most relevant chemical and electrochemical techniques used in analysis of physical and chemical properties of these polymeric materials. The students would also be able to recognize relevance of electroconducting polymers with special emphasis on practical applications and trends and perspectives of development.
The outcome		Students would adopt basic knowledge on physical and chemical properties of electroconducting polymers, features of electrical conductivity in electroconducting polymers achieved by both chemical and electrochemical doping and red/ox characteristics of electroconducting polymers. ; They would be familiar with chemical and electrochemical synthesis, and most relevant experimental methods and techniques of characterization. Moreover, they would understand possibilities of practical application of electroconducting polymers and trends of development. ;
