| The goal | Students acquire knowledge on different properties of polymers in solution, in melt and in solid state. Students are getting familiar with phase and physical states of polymers. Effect of different parameters on the polymer properties and experimental techniques for their determination are also discussed. | |||
| The outcome | After the students fulfilled all the requirements and passed the exam, they acquired knowledge on phase and physical states of polymers and polymer properties. They are capable of relating properties of the investigated polymer to its structure, and of predicting the influence of different factors on the relevant properties of polymer. They also can choose proper experimental techniques for required measurements, and to process the obtained data. | |||
