      The goalThe students are able to understand the role of polymers in sustainable development, to understand complexity and important parameters that affect the life cycle of polymeric materials. The students are capable to analyze and solve problems related to durability of materials during application and recycling.
      The outcomeThe students are able to analyze polymeric materials and production technologies regarding sustainable development. Students are able to independently perform apropriate tests in order to follow changes in polymeric materials caused by degradaion. Students acquire knowledge that enables them to work in team and to present obtained results in a comptetent and organized fashion.
